Did African Americans Got Treated Different From The White People?
It initially started with slavery. Farm machinery didn't exist and wealthy plantation owners who raised cash crops like tobacco and cotton looked for cheap labor. Racist ideas such as people from Africa being more animal than human were prevalent in those days. Slave traders and owners dehumanized the slaves to justify what they did to them. Then once slavery was abolished, the racist beliefs which were used to justify slavery remained. Slaves were kept ignorant so they would not be able to survive without their masters. There were even laws against slaves and even free African-Americans getting an education. That ignorance, which the slave owners valued, was later used to justify discrimination. Rather than blame the lack of education for the ignorance, the racists blamed the race. Then there were the pressures of a poor economy. When the slaves were freed, the economy was bad. So nobody really welcomed new people to the workforce. So that could have led to some of the discriminatory laws. People without education were not welcomed into the workforce much, and there was already competition for what jobs remained. Then there were the political pressures. The most noted hate group, the Ku Klux Klan, was created because of political pressures. In the days right after slavery, there was a fear of so many of the freedmen becoming Republicans, which were the more liberal political party in that day. So some of the Conservative Democrats started the KKK to marginalize people of color and weaken their political power. The KKK still exists, but in a weak and fractured form. Some of the later hate may have been related to another phenomenon, and that was the conversion of the political parties. When the American Communist Party disbanded, its members took over the Democrat Party. Then many of the Conservatives fled to the Republican Party. Communist and/or socialist values were attractive to African Americans in those days. This put targets on their backs as there were government programs, both overt and covert, designed to drive out Communism. So to keep liberal, communist, or socialist influences away from the polls, there were all the discriminatory voting laws. There was violence as well. There are many more things that can be said as to the reasons, but if we must boil it down, it was all due to greed, fear, hate, assumed inferiority, and lies.

Why do they call dark skinned Americans African-Americans when they are Americans just like I am if you are born with in the 50 states your American so lets eliminate the term African American?
Many white Americans call themselves Irish American, Italian American, or Asian American. The United States is a country if immigrants, and the people never gave up their history or culture when they came here. It is important for African Americans or black Americans to have a sense of history or purpose. Knowing where we come from will give us the self esteem to be positive and productive American citizens. My black friends hate to be called African-Americans. They were born in the US, their moms and grandmothers were born in the USA. The liberal media and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton used the term African-American to separate themselves from the rest of the US. Equal, but separate is their goal. That term encourages racism and resentment!
