Do you think Colonization, the Encomienda System, and the African Slave trade still influence people’s lives today?  Explain your answer.

I think that it does affect us today because the amount of people who still believe that they could take advantage of African-American people thinking that they are still like it was the way before. To our new president for an example, Trump thinks that it okay to make people be labeled to what he thinks. I’ve seen people who get afraid during the night when they see an African because they have this idea to where they are all bad and would rob, rape, beat them up when.. it really isn’t like that. It’s now okay to criticize people on their race or ethnicity and say that it’s how they all are like.
