Misconceptions

Most people think that the Civil Rights movement of the 50's and 60's was only African Americans trying to sit in front of the bus with white people, but there is more to that then what people really know. The Civil Rights movement also included Latinos and Asian-Americans in the U.S. during that time because of similar reasons that the African Americans wanted equal rights. So to say, all non-white ethnicities were refused certain rights that all of them had under the constitution. Many of the Latinos and Asian-Americans who were  natural born citizens were criticized by many people because they thought that they were illegal and they were not better than dirt. All three ethnicities who were oppressed by the whites fought for the rights they knew they had under the constitution, they wanted to be able to have the same opportunities, privileges, and treatment that the white people had during the time. Even in today's society some misconception regarding the Civil Rights for same sex marriage is that if that were allowed then it would affect our lives, but really it won't. If there were same sex marriages nothing will happen, the world will not blow up or anything.
