Research Paper

OPTION 3:

I believe that some students still do not get the question.  The question is not asking whether or not a genocide against Muslims and Muslim Americans (I think some of you forget that there are Muslim Americans) is happening right now (it is not), but whether we are seeing the beginning of a new cycle of hatred that might resembled what we did to Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants after Pearl Harbor during WWII or a genocide (look at the early parts of Wiesel's Night).  You can argue one way or the other, but the focus of this paper is IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! 

OPTION 5:

 I think many people are forgetting to talk about how African-Americans fought before and after the Civil against slavery and Jim Crow and at the same time joined forces to fight for independence [Patriots such as Peter Salem and Salem the Poor at Bunker Hill (until George Washington block black soldiers from fighting) and Phillis Wheatley] and WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam (during Jim Crow/Segregation).    

Don't forget that not all African-Americans fought for this nation: Some fought for the British during the Revolutionary War (search Lord Dunmore and his proclamation), some ran away all the way to Canada during slavery, some moved to Africa and even started new nations such as Liberia and some such as Muhammad Ali chose to go to jail, instead of being draft into Vietnam.

For conclusion: Aren't African Americans still struggling with poverty, high drop out rates and police brutality?   Why do so many still join the army?
