First Blog post for 2010

This is my first blog post for 2010. I need to revive my "dead" blog so that I can resume my blogging journey.
I am going to discuss with you the relationship between the Blacks (African Americans) and the Whites. A hundred year ago, blacks were used as human slaves to the whites. The slaves aminly worked for the farmers. Their salaries were low and insufficient. Also, the treatment to the blacks by the whites was worse off than that to maids or servants. To the whites, the blacks were not human beings and they were considered as "Three fifths of a human".
After the "black slavery" era, things started to change a little better. Most of the whites had stopped buying slaves but a minority continued as the slaves were cheaper then hired labourers. However, places like cafeterias, cinemas and amusement parks were only reserved for the whites. Signage like "We don't serve coloured." are common. The blacks could not lead a normal life and had to be despised by the arrogant white people. As the blacks paid the same tax as the whites, the government had no choice but to "reserve" Thursday as the coloured day. This was when blacks were allowed to patronise stalls or cafes, etc.
Twenty years later, a famous Black decided to change the miserable lives of the Blacks. He was none other than Martin Luther King, an eloquent speaker and a minister's son. He spoke the words that were hiding in the black people's hearts. He spoke that there should be one America, and not two. Segregations should end so that the Blacks could enjoy the same life as the Whites'. Martin succeeded his dream after a long struggle.
Although now America treats their fellow black Americans fairly, there is still some conflict between the two parties. Obama, being the first black president, has caused anger among some white people. I hope that some time later, Blacks can be treated fairly as the Whites as they are human beings like us. We have no right to treat them like dirt.
