Racism Vs Equality

240 Words1 Page

If I am going to be completely honest, racism is something that will never be able to come to an end.

What I liked about Bonilla-Silva’s piece is the quotes taken from the white privilege.

    Racism is something that is still ongoing and has even gotten worse in recent years. No matter what efforts are taken to try and get something to change, equal representation in the justice system is something we may never get. The justice system was and still is racist. From the racial profiling, harsher sentencing for people of color, and the over-representation of people of color in the criminal justice system. According to the NAACP “If Black and Hispanic people were incarcerated at the same rate as White people, prison and jail populations would decline by almost 40 percent.

Racism is as big of a problem in the USA as anyone can think, starting way back to when the country had just began to form, when Europeans started settling into the 13 original colonies (Shah).

Racism has always been a major issue, although hundreds of years have passed since the birth of racism, the problem just seems to never go away.

First educate yourself about racism as much as possible and learn about the consequences of it, next, we need to see people as equals and as human beings, and lastly, we cannot give up or fail to speak up if you see racism in action.
