Cause/Effect
Because of this problem, this has happened… (ex. Because the trans-Atlantic slave trade and chattel slavery was so economically profitable, slaveholders and the supporters of slavery created propaganda and stereotypes about Black inferiority that still linger with us today.
Repercussions/Outcomes…(ex. If we don’t continue to address racial bias, stereotypes and deeply held anti-Black beliefs generated during slavery times, then African-Americans will continue to struggle to be seen as fully human, and worthy of opportunities, resources and higher standards of living.)
