Racism is a reality in America. Racism is more than just specific socially unaccepted behavior against a specific race or ethnic group, as long as the prejudiced mind exist, this concept of racism will never cease to exist.
Racism is a reality in America. Racism is a cog in the wheel of how the American system works. That cog is the marginalization and oppression of groups or individuals based on factors related to racial or ethnic heritage or identity. This is racism can that is part of the American social, economic, and political landscape. To believe that this systemic racism in America longer exists, is a choice to be ignorant. It appears that most individuals who make such claims are failing to recognize that the social status that they identify with, actually has "status" because of the systematic oppression of generations of non-whites that have come before them. This is the racism that we can eradicate.
Racism becomes a politically charged concept intentionally so that the concept itself can be used as political distraction. Rather than using politics as a tool to address the root of racism, many politicians use racism as a tool for their own political motives or those of their campaign funding sources. It appears that the political "norm" means perpetuating systemic racism by pretending to be ignorant of it's very existence.
Despite the progress to reform the system racism within America, these successes have are piecemeal fixes to an American political system that is obviously broken, and rigged to be oppressive. Acknowledging this is the fist step toward real social change and rebirth. However, this acknowledgement must come with a guiltless honesty motivated to make active and affirmative changes.
