Type in the content of your page here. Is racism still a major problem? Yes Racism is still a major problem in the United States, but the government can not control how a person’s thoughts and feelings, even though I would like for the government to repair racism. Racism has been a major issue since the colonial era. This question of race continues to divide our society. According to Kera Nobles in segregated high school proms divide Georgia’s students, “I don’t like segregated proms, there’s no need for it. We went to school together and we all graduated at the time. I feel live I’ve been deprived of something that was important to me” (Leonard Doyle). Racism is not about the “N” word any more. Zimbabweans, Mozambicans, and South Africans are being killed and injured, the death toll is 420. You may ask why these people were killed because they looked like foreigners. But hold on, don’t our government believe that all racist attacks in this are perpetrated by small core of white people. According to Rev. Al Sharpton in Black Army Vet was ‘murdered by the NYPD’ “Shem Walker was the pride of his family,” Sharpton said. But this service is the shame of this city. This is not about black or white. This is a black cop. This is about right and wrong and this was wrong it’s black on black crime. I agree racism is not going to go away. It is past down from generation to generation, and most of the time that’s how they are raised. Then most of the time some people just want to fit in. I’ve former friends that I have disassociated with because they were racist. There are a few rotten apples out there that make it bad for everyone. Racism will not go away as long as it can be played to their advantage. I wish they could see how ignorant they are when they use racial terms. I just don’t understand some people most of the time. When they use these terms around their race but when they are around another race they are not racist. It’s not the point that they are racist it’s the point if you are one of my friend and you know not to say it around me then why say it at all. I just don’t believe it will ever go away as much as we try to be equal we just cant.
