nd everybody expels her. In fact, the black women are born to be looked down upon. They are looked down upon by the white people, and even by some black male.

The black women are looked down upon for the color of their skin all the time. Although the American Constitution says that everyone is equal in the society. But in reality, colored people, especially the black women, never have equal rights and respect. They usually stay at the bottom of the society. In American society, generally, people hold the idea that only the white people are in the main stream. They would like to divide Americans into several classes. Of course the white people are the first class people, and they are the center of the social life. There are no blacks or other colored people who can be the president, or even the leading officers.

In the whites’ opinion, being dark is ugly, and black is equal to evil, while being white is beautiful. Then the black women were faced with even more problems. Their figures were usually abused, disparaged, distorted and even used as weapons to attack themselves. Many black women couldn’t bear such miseries, they had to abandon their own figures, and turn to masks. In the society, men are considered to be independent, offensive, competitive, rational, and intrepid, while women are such a group that most of them are oppressed by sex discrimination.
