Racism still exists. Just because you don't experience doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just because you don't want to talk about it or it isn't politically correct to talk about it, doesn't mean it doesn't have a place in conversation.
When someone believes LIES like:
Black children deserve a harsher punishment than white children
Black people being "thugs" disserve their punishments
A black person robbing a store is punishable by death
A black person is less disserving of a college scholarship than a white person
Equal rights opportunities laws means that minorities are less qualified than white people
Mexicans don't speak English
Mexican/Latinos don't disserve social welfare
Middle Eastern people are terrorists
Africans are all poor
Africans can only get to America by boat
Please know these are LIES of the ENEMY! Racism is a LIE of the ENEMY.
If my daughter gets into a college that you're white child doesn't... it might just be because she has better credentials.
I cannot sit back and let people deny racism in the US. Also, without acknowledging its presence we can't do anything about it. Education is the first step to moving forward.
