The American Dream Belongs to All of Us: Latinos and Jamaican Americans Experience Cultural Genocide by American Assimilation
Full text linkRacism in the United States has had a detrimental effect on the Latino and Jamaican experience in this country; affirmative action can be used to promote acculturation rather than assimilation. Part I of this article will explore the origins of the American Experiment as the creation of a country with freedom and democracy and how the benefit of those rights has never been given to racialized minorities without a struggle and fight. Part II explores Supreme Court cases that deal with discrimination issues in America and highlights how the solution to the forced assimilation of diverse cultures cannot be found solely in the judicial system. Part III will explain how American assimilation promotes cultural genocide and discuss how “Additive Acculturation” should be the goal to uphold the right of equal protection explicitly provided in the United States Constitution

School Curriculum: The Sigmatic Harm to Students and the Responsibility of Congress to Act Again
Full text linkWhen Brown was decided, the Supreme Court felt that it could not trust the States to encourage and facilitate equality on its own, which was proven true in the subsequent, decades-long resistance against integration following the Brown II mandate. Once again, the States cannot be trusted to move towards equality and away from backward community norms and bias without federal intervention. This is currently being exemplified by states like Florida—explicitly banning public schools from teaching Critical Race Theory. The Supreme Court does not seem willing to extend Brown any further, but the federal government may encourage and facilitate curriculum equality under its enumerated Taxing and Spending Power. Resisting efforts to diversify the curriculum will continue to harm students and prevent minority communities from progressing by giving all students a false representation of the society they must live in outside the classroom. This burdens both the students’ First Amendment right to information deemed to be of educational value by their educators as well as burdening their educators’ First Amendment right to free speech
The Robots are Coming: Targets of Automation and its Effect on the Tax Economy
Full text linkAmid the global outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, a mayo clinic in Jacksonville, Florida delegated four autonomous, self-driving vehicles to aid in keeping its drivers and patients safe. The self-driving vehicles are not driven conventionally by human workers and the work designated consists of delivering COVID-19 testing kits from the testing facility to the work lab. In addition, these vehicles are able to replace repetitive work functions while allowing workers more time to focus on other important tasks, like helping to slow down the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The autonomous vehicles are visible in the Jacksonville community and are programmed to avoid busy streets where pedestrians regularly walk. The Jacksonville mayo clinic is one of many businesses worldwide investing in automation to carry out basic work functions that were once completed by human tax-paying workers. Automation has many increasing benefits to various types of businesses, but at a cost to human workers and the tax economy, in which they are paying into. The future of automation is evolving and expanding throughout the world. The robots are indeed coming, but will Americans be ready

Part II of this article will discuss the income disparities among the Black and White races and the interplay with gender. Part III of this article will expound on the effect that income inequalities, tax policies, and tax breaks have on wealth accumulation between Black and White families
