PLSSS GUYS HELP MEE

Native Americans and African Americans continue to face daily social issues. The most controversial social issue affecting Native Americans today is the continued use of Native American names as mascots for sporting teams. Native Americans and African Americans have had much of their culture wiped away, they have had to adapt and change to fit the culture of Americans in the process they have lost much of their history and way of life. Socially they are not as accepted in certain situations as other races are. IN addition, both groups find themselves living in poverty, not having equal access to education or jobs. Crime within both communities is higher than that in others and both struggle with drug and alcohol addictions within their communities. Both communities have been remembered in art in a negative way, struggle with obtaining an equal education and are faced with poverty, hunger and poor living conditions.
