How did the experiences of minorities in America during the 1950s compare to the experiences of white citizens?

Not well. Very good. It depends.

The 1950s were the most stilted era I've lived through. Women were just beginning to exercise their power, which had nothing to do with getting the vote. That was only the beginning.

Added to which the men coming home from the war for the most part wanted conformity and rigid standards.  War time housing was developed. So this was the era that flourished with traditional families, white appliances, TVs and the nest out in the suburbs. That for the most part was the white experience.

The minorities did not fare as well, but America was rich and flexing her muscles. Five % of the world's population controlled a much greater % of the wealth. The black population was still feeling the effects on being a minority and not sharing equally in the American dream. They did not share in life in the suburbs. In fact they were openly opposed: if they moved into the burbs, they were told in no uncertain terms they were not welcome.

Antisemitism was at a peak even after the Holocaust became generally known. Jews were not liked and were treated in many cases, very inhumanely (banned from resorts, from some schools, from some sports activities and in general as a subspecies of the human race).

Perhaps I am not correct in saying this, but the most enslaved class through out history is perhaps females. They were encourage to stay out side of the main society and be "Good Wives and Mothers." They were. But there was more to life than being Doris Day. And they began their journey into independence.

Paraphrase the following lines from Dunbar's "We Wear the Mask":
Reptile [31]

Explanation:

"We Wear a Mask" is famous Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem.

It deals with the status of African-American community in the late 1800s. Using "we" in the title of the poem, he gives it a personal note emphasizing that he is tha part of the community too.

Mask suggests hiding their real feelings, just like the mask hides the face. These lines suggest pretending to be happy in order to fit in, because showing real emotions falls on deaf ears and brings about lack of understanding. More precisely, these lines show that this methaphoric mask hides their pain and sadness ("torn and bleeding hearts") and hides the words they would express this with, replacing it with things other want to hear ("myriad subtleties").
