The marginalizing placed upon this group of people has severely held them back from taking steps to gaining their american dream. The american dream is to be able to strive in the country, just like any other white american, and to be able to learn, grow, and make a living, while enjoying the benefits. But due to racist views and stereotypes being made, african. Americans have a lower rate and much less success in actually being able to fulfill these dreams. Even if one were to beat their chances and find a way for admittance into college, through financial difficulties and competitiveness from white americans, the job employment rate for. African americans is significantly lower than white americans.
