African American Discrimination
Harassment, prejudice and violence against an African American or a group of
African Americans is considered African American Discrimination. This type of
discrimination can occur in a public, private, civic or environment situation.
Due to enforceable civil rights laws, all citizens of the United States are
granted equal rights and equal protection under the laws of the land. These laws
are enforceable by all government agencies – including protection from law
enforcement.
While discrimination laws guarantee equal opportunity and protection under the
law, they do not afford individuals undo privileges.
