Racism Second Post
Racism. Such a powerful word. One of the most important things I always think about when I hear racism is that racism affects all races, not just African-Americans. In fact, if you were to look at everyone’s first racism post, you will see that the majority of them (including mine) are regarding African Americans. Racism against this certain race is such a prevalent theme in our history and our society that we often only focus on this race. I think this is a trend that has happened from white and blacks constantly creating friction through (most importantly) slavery, police brutality (involving race), the fact that there are very few African American leaders comapred to Caucasian leaders in this country. Also, I agree that racism is definitely more than just a mentality. Racism can also include actions and, like the article said, opression.
