Equal Rights (Keith)

Sometime I can relate to not having equal rights and sometimes I cant. Nowadays almost everyone has had or think they have been some type of discrimination done to them. Sometimes I wonder when things happen to me is it because of my skin color or because of things I have done in the past or just because someone doesn’t like how I act. Like when me and my friends apply for jobs and don’t get them we joke around saying its because our race but it could actually be that, we will never know and that’s the sad part. Other than those examples I cant really relate to not having equal rights because I wasn’t around when it was really rough and just because you had a different skin color you couldn’t sit in front of the bus or drink out a certain water fountain. I don’t know what that feels like, and there wont be a time like that ever again so unless a person was alive during that time no one now or ever will ever REALLY know what that feels like. Now everyone in the U.S. has equal rights and there is not a way a person can say that they were discriminated against unless the person that did it has solid proof.
