In politics, note that in 2003, President George W. Bush referred to slavery as "one of the greatest crimes in history", that in 2008, Barack Obama became the first African American president (who is not a descendant of a slave but whose wife is a slave, his grandfather having worked in cotton picking) and that in 2009, Michael S. Steele became the first black American to head the republican party.
Before emancipation, many inequalities remained and slavery was present; blacks were treated like animals and mistreated by whites. After this emancipation, we note that inequalities remain present, we remember in particular the hundred years of segregation and racism, which remains still and always. In spite of everything, their situation has improved, in this case, but this progress remains limited. That is why we must mobilize and move forward together. We must act as Martin Luther King did, playing a very important role in the anti-segregationist struggle. Not only in the United States but also around the world. He was the lever that raised the black community to take to the streets to fight peacefully for their rights, for the just fight against segregation.
It is abominable that such mentalities can still exist in today’s world, we have evolved, the world has evolved, so racism should no longer exist. The action of the public authorities in the fight against these inequalities should no longer be questioned as it continues to be in recent years by socio-economic and ideological developments in France as in all developed countries. However this action remains essential to maintain the republican pact: "freedom, equality, fraternity" and avoid the creation of a dual society that would break social cohesion.
To denounce discrimination is to put forward the fight for equality. But behind the question of the effectiveness of the action of the public authorities hides another: in which society do we want to live?
