After watching the Rodney King Documentary I put more thought into what it's like being the group of people at disadvantage of everything. The treatment and interactions of most, not all people with African Americans has never really advance to "equal, friendly, kind". Not only where they slaves at one point, but throughout history they've always had to prove they were more than, the close minded racist and discriminatory views of others. African Americans are always labeled in such negative ways and perceived as wild, aggressive, inferior, so many derogatory labels. That when they see one of their folks getting beat/killed by the police or others they aren't even surprised. All these years and events in history, seems to me like they teach some humans nothing. Why do the African American folks always have to be put at disadvantage in every situation? Is it just for the fact that they have a different skin color, or is it because since long time ago in a series of events we decided that they would always be inferior. As a nation the population won't ever agree on one specific thing. Yet why is it so hard to agree that African American people are just as human, just as outgoing, as any other human being.
