The emergence of modern colorism in the Americas

     This is a article about the history of colorism in the Americas, this begins in the 1400s when countries were moving west to find new trade routes east ,but the men had found new land. Colonization had started to begin and many people were starting to pour into the Americas as well as slaves from Africa. The settlers started to mate with the slaves which was extremely frowned upon back then and many of the slaves became pregnant and the babies were half white, half black and the word Mulattos was used to describe the kids. This article was very informative and i liked it because of the historical background and the information given clears things up about history and racism. The change that we as one species have made over time is drastic and it shows how people change there attitude on things like race and love, this shows how we all can co-exist as people.In the past this would not have seemed possible and people would have thought this was disgusting.Some people in this time period also believed that mating with an African or an African American was considered bestiality.If people in the modern period in which we live in now would have acted like this or believed this, they would have been beaten or even killed.Race is still a very big issue in the world today and many people still feel this way but are to scared to say anything because they know its extremely offensive and wrong.This story should give people an idea of how bad of a past that mixed raced people and African people had it back than.Race is only a small difference we have and this should not give people the right to hurt people of other races we should respect others and coexist as one race , the human race.
