**The origin:** **History and Discrimination.**

The African American history in the United States of America takes common people back to over five hundred years that describe the progressive developments within the society since the Africans entered the United States of America. Africans when migrated to the United States of America had faced many problems as told by many historians among which, the most common trend among the Americans was to judge Africans on the basis of racism. It was a direct violation of human rights at so many levels when Africans were not given proper right of freedom and had been disgraced in many areas of profession. The Africans that had migrated seemed to have little to no worth as they were mistreated and humiliated by Americans that by nature got Africans to be aggressive.

Throughout the years, African slaves were endured with undesirable and harsh conditions that they had been forced to. Slavery and racism had reached to its peak by that era and Africans had nowhere else to go. This led to an automatic aggression for the Americans by the Africans that had caused many
Africans to lose their lives against the brutality of Americans. There is no denying from the fact that it is not only horrible act but moreover, the law abiding agencies along with other facilities of the country had gone biased just like the rest of the citizens and arrested many Africans for not abiding to what they were forced to.
