8/3/09 Lamar Travers Humanities I dO think racism still exist. Some racial people still think that racism should still exist like back in the day before Martin Luther King JR died. some people don’t think god created everyone equally. The reason I know racism still exist is because if it didn’t a man named Henry Louis Gates wouldn’t have been taking from his porch after a robbery was reported. After a few days of the arrest, Henry Louis Gates doing a interview on Boston. COM/news said “I was treated horrendously by officer Cradley and this is really about me its about justice for the least among us”. To me this means that everyone should be treated equally and this isn’t about him its about us as a race. This is one reason why I think racism still exist.

Another event that happened that makes me still believe that racism still exist is because a young group of kids were kicked out of a pool. Once the blacks enter the pool, white kids begin to get out. A young boy on nowpublic.com/ heard a white lady say “I’m scared of what they might do to my kids”. This shows that racism still exist because those kids haven’t did anything to anybody yet. I believe it was a negative stereotype.

That is another reason why I think racism still exist. A event that leads me to thinking that it still happens is the documentary in Mississippi were there are to different prom nights. One were both race go, black and white, and one were only whites go. If racism didn’t still exist why would they need to different proms if they saw each others as equal. A man name Morgan Freeman said “said that is the stupidest thing that they are reason to be raised up like this”. I think this statement means that being separate and not communicating with each other because of skin color is stupid.

To me after all this we should get read of race, and all become Homo sapiens.
