Lashey Simmons 8/5/09 Humanities Do you think racism is still a problem? I think racism is only a little bit of a problem in the united states because a little bit of people think of each other equal and others like 20% or more is still racist don’t think the government can do anything about it because us people can handle it a way good and better way because there's only a little amount of people that is racist. I don't think the government can do something about it because us the people can handle it in a good and better way because there's only a little amount of people that is racist. Racism affects only some people today because they get disrespected by those who doesn't like a certain person's skin color. For example I was in the car with my father and I seen this racist flag outside somebody's door and I was surprised about that because I didn't know people are still racist after all these years after how hard all our ancestors fought to be treated equally as every other human. This proves that racism isn't completely over with its just a small amount of people who doesn't like African Americans for some reason. Another reason why racism is a little problem because people who are teen African Americans that want a job and can't get it because of the color of there skin. I think the government should do something about that because how are a people going to earn money if they cant get a job for being African American or Hispanic or any race.

Racism affects people today because they might not get jobs for being there skin complexion or walk any where they want because it probably being racist people all through African Americans so colored people cant walk through there block .This proves that even people who want job cant get it because of there race or can't walk where ever they want to. For example I heard that a teenage girl was trying to get a job for the summer and she couldn't because she African American.

In conclusion racism is not a major problem and people can handle it themselves in there own way's. The government doesn't have to be involved with a problem that can be dwelt with by the people. Our government can only do something for the people who refuse to give jobs to people because of there type of race or anything else that can be solved by the government.
