Jackie Robinson was the first black Baseball player of the 20th century, which broke the color line so that other African Americans could play in the MLB. Michael Jordan, possibly the best player in NBA history turned the game into a popular sport.

How has the experience of African Americans and the relationship with the American Government shaped and affected the attitudes of African Americans?
First, I would like to ask you a question. Are you of an African American background or are you African American? I was kind of confused in your initial entry. Most African Americans understand that our ancestors were raped throughout history so your skin color is no mystery. I believe the American media has led African Americans to try and change, and at times deny or hate their own (darker) skin complexions which I, bythe way see as a symbol of dominance and strength. Love the skin you're in. After all its yours for life! Coming from an African American background I think that slavery of African Americans in this country still has a negative affect on black people. The things that were taken away from our ancestry, has an affect such as the number of poor blacks in America compared to even hispanic. Since we were here before them, I would think that we should at least be a step ahead right, We are not ahead of them because we never received reparations for the things that we went through during slavery. Many blacks feel bad that our ancestors were not strong enough to overcome the American government and get what was owed to them, however we don't know exactly what things were like back then, my point is there could have been a good reason things worked out the way they did Hispanics have their own wealth that they worked for many blacks have a strange feeling about that, envy. My skin is very light and to most black people I am not black because my skin is not dark enough. African genes were taken away from my ancestors during slavery, that is the story that was passed down, I have visible European genes. BOTH OF MY PARENTS ARE AFRICAN AMERICANS AND TO BLACK PEOPLE i AM NOT BLACK, BACAUSE MY SKIN IS YELLOWISH TAN, NOT LIGHT BROWN NOT DARK BROWN. SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY
How did reconstruction affect African-Americans?
After the Civil War the 15th Amendment was passed that African American males were aloud to vote. This caused many secret southern organizations to sprout up including the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) that would terrorize African Americans. The members of the KKK believed that African Americans were lower then them and they believed in anti-communism (people not being equal to each other) Also since slavery was abolished (gotten rid of) because of the Civil War (13th Amendment that was passed that stated slavery be abolished) African Americans had to find a new way of life, they had to get jobs and live their own lives. They were no longer considered property of another person. Basically African Americans were terrorized by people who believed equality was wrong, and African Americans had to start their own lives and become their own people, no longer having an owner. Hope this helps! :)

How did the American Revolution affect African-Americans?
Answer 1Before the American Revolution, African-Americans had NO chance of freedom. They were being shipped as slaves along the triangle trade route , but after the revolution the question was discussed of abolishing slavery in the Constitutional Convention and the writing of the Declaration of Independence. Due to the fact that it was such a touchy issue for the south and due to the large economic impact of abolishing slavery, the question was thrown out and a provision was placed in the US Constitution that wouldn't let ANY laws on slavery be passed or even discussed for at least 20 years. Moreover, many of the American Revolutionary Generals were slave owners in the first place and were reluctant to give up their own personal wealth.Answer 2The effect of the American Revolutionary War on African-Americans depended on where they lived. If they were slaves in the New England States, they were freed soon after the war ended. If they were slaves north of the Mason Dixon Line, they were freed about 30 years after the adoption of the constitution. If they were south of the Mason Dixon Line, some were freed but most were not prior to the US Civil War.Answer 3Slavery was also outlawed on mainland Britain, meaning that no man could land on British soil without being free. The British had promised many African-Americans their freedom from the colonists if they fought for the British, and around 20,000 of them did. When the British lost, they attempted to honor their agreement as much as possible by helping African-Americans travel to England and London with the retreating redcoats. Some were even put ashore in Africa at their own request. Therefore many African-Americans clearly felt that their chances of freedom were better with the Brits.
