Examples Of Racism In America Today

In today's world, people are valued by the color of their skin and are categorized based on the amount of money one posses in their savings account. But in America today a very generalized group of Americans are being hunted everyday with inequality in workforce, American society, judicial system, education and etc. Racial Minorities are encountered in a very poorly manner, arguably minorities blame “white supremacy and white privilege” being the reason why a chain of black lives have been lost with “police brutality” . People in the United states are labeled by the exterior and often forgiveful in the reality of people being the same in the interior. Despite the rough patches America has faced, America will never be united if we don't
Racism is true only if confronted by words and is justified if people start your sentence with “I'm not racist but ..” Americans forget that there's racism in actions as well. Although, it seems to be that only the people that live in this country have been blindfolded and unaware of the inequality happening today. But many foreigners and tourist that come to America actually notice the different treatment between races for example German man Spenkuch said “But when I came to the United States, it just jumped into my face. It’s very striking, and not just in job markets—there are racial differences in health, in life expectancy, in education. No matter where people look, race is a really important predictor of how well people do in life.” We all have to leave the mindset where we think “racism isn’t in how people perceive one's without any knowledge of who people are or racism is not in how they approach one's, how they first speak to one's as though your presence requires justification or a just because a person speaks down to you as if you are inferior to them doesn’t mean your are the victim of racism.” ( Benjamin Dixon
The Black Lives Matter movement has brought to live questions that seem to be pretty fair for example do we ever sit and think why George Zimmerman felt he had the right to follow around specifically a black teen who was wearing a hoodie and holding an Arizona tea. The media and everyone else just have their minds wrapped around the fact the teen fought back but wouldn't we all ? Think about it for a minute wouldn't you have reacted the same way if you were being confronted and accused of something you didn't do? Why do we all believe Trayvon had no right to stand his own ground and stand up to what he believed was right? It’s human nature to get angry if you are being confronted like a criminal, it is common sense to get fired up if someone accuses you of a crime you didn't commit. But wait it’s not racism because, according to statistics, he was probably committing a crime anyways right ? We can't forget about Tamir Rice who got shot because he was playing with a toy gun that had the orange safety off. Did the police really had the right to take a kids life away because he wasn't suppose to be playing with a gun that looked realistic? Is it justifiable to just say it was an accident? Did we forget this kid has a family who now don't have son and a brother, my question
