【正文】 , the black women today can be bosses, astronauts, headmistresses and so on. The black women are walking to success gradually in many fields. But it doesn‘t mean the black women have entered into the upper society and they are out of vulnerable group. In fact, their ine is still less than men‘s and nearly 14% black women are still under the poverty line. Moreover, the black women must work hard after graduation to be promoted. For most black females, endeavor is an endless work. A professor has said that no person helps you and you must work hard by yourself, even if someone would help you, the door is quickly closed. The black females in United States think women must go to the university or read books more and more because there‘s nobody supporting themselves or bringing up their children. In short, the black women‘s conditions are not optimistic as some people thought. II. Analysis of the Reasons for Black Women‘s Low Social Status A. Class Oppression The history of African Americans has been a history of exploitation, social inequality, and discrimination. From the beginning of slavery in British North America around 1619, when a Dutch ship brought 20 enslaved Africans to the Virginia colony at Jamestown, nearly 240 years passed until the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution officially ended slavery in 1865. Slavery was first and foremost a creation of the wealthy, who sought a cheap and reliable source of labor to maximize profits in a highly laborintensive plantation system. Black slavery was a product of economic motivations and the fact that blacks was in a weaker position to resist it than other groups. As the demand for slaves increased, Europeans paid Africans for purely mercial purposes. Nearly half a million African were brought by force to America, where they were viewed as property and bought, sold, used, and abused at the merce of the white majority. African American history is often referred to as segregation because that was the dominant reality experienced by black Americans during this period. Under segregation, forced separation of the races and social isolation of Black Americans was the rule. The races actually became more separated from one another in the South after the end of slavery. In the United States, segregation was rationalized on the ground of ―separate but equal‖ opportunities, as outlined by the Supreme Court in Plessey education as whites, for example, but this did not mean blacks and whites had to attend the same schools. In practice, however, separation doesn‘t mean equality. Under apartheid, every individual was assigned to a racial category at birth。 盡管社會迅速發(fā)展，作為黑人和婦女雙重地位的美國黑人婦女也曾為美國做出了巨大的貢獻(xiàn)，但仍擺脫不了被白人歧視的命運(yùn)。近年來，黑人通過不懈的努力已經(jīng)獲得相對 平等的權(quán)利，但這并不意味著他們已經(jīng)走出困境，擺脫了弱勢群體的地位。 racial discrimination。 gender discrimination。 女性作為美國歷史上的另一個弱勢群體，她們?nèi)匀粩[脫不了被歧視的遭遇。本論文通過分析黑人女性當(dāng)今的社會地位，讀者能更好的理解黑人女性的艱辛，與此同時告訴我們不論什么皮 膚的女性都應(yīng)受到尊重。 rights and opportunities were based on racial classification. Elections were for whites only, blacks were not considered citizens, nonwhites were not permitted to purchase land in ―white‖ areas or even enter these unless they worked there。 they are playing an important role in human beings‘ reproduction, and they are the heroines when the society is evolving. However, women had been treated unfairly since the very ancient time when a family‘s survival in the wild was determined by strong males, which made the males dominate the females. The men thought the women were inferior to them, and the females could only do some simple work like cooking, bringing up children. In short, the men wanted the women to be a docile housewife. Therefore, this kind of great mothers began to be dominated by men just because they looked smaller and weaker than men. From that time on, the women began to obey the men‘s arrangement step by step, and their rights were deprived as well. However, the women didn‘t realize it‘s an abyss At present, some males think that the empathy, tolerance, insight, patience and persistence are the birthright of female. These qualities the women naturally have might be produced because of the suppression by men. With the emergence of human rights, some women realized that everyone is equal and they must fight for their freedom. Betty Friedan had written, as well, ―I want something more than my husband and my children and my home‖. (Wang,2021:256), which can be called a baptism for female. But, after all, the men‘s domination in the families is almost accepted by everyone. In other words, getting their freedom will be a longterm and harder process. ―It is dogged that does it‖. In spite of that, they didn‘t decide to bear it in silence but they made a great effort to get their equal rights in the society, and also have got some achievements. Nowadays those female rights have been admitted by the law after the Women‘s Movement. When many females feel relieved at getting their freedom and enter the society to do their wanted work, they find the female is still a weaker group in the men‘s eyes. It shows that the prejudice against female is an idea that still strikes nearly all men. Despite this, many people think that the road to women‘s equality is much rougher than that of the blacks. III. Methods of Helping Black Women out of Straits A. Recovery of Economic and Spiritual Independence It is hard to eliminate the prejudice against women, because women in the . are much more brainwashed and content with their roles as secondclass citizens than blacks ever. So Shirley Chisholm calls on the women to follow her own example and take a more active part in political life. She says that the country needs women‘s idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else Seen from the today‘s circumstance, the women‘s unchanged condition is due to the traditional idea male dominated soci
