On Racial Discrimination In 2024
Racial discrimination is claimed by many white americans to be slight and not as much a problem for this country as the state of the economy and other popular issues. They strongly believe that black americans are protected by law from racial discrimination, in things such as employment, housing, the criminal justice system. It has become almost a common truism that our laws do not discriminate by the color of a persons skin, and though it is not always easy to prove discrimination, it happens more than one might think or want to believe that it happens. I will not do what many people try and rely upon statistics and graphs to illustrate this thought. I am not even interested in persuading anyone
of this.
But I would be quite mistaken to believe that discrimination today is so simple a problem to handle, as to reduce the scope of racism to the fringes of our society in a few sick individuals, who's goal is to violently exterminate the presence of black people, there is more going on than these isolated incidences of racial hatred.
When diversity programs are cut away without fully understanding them enough it is a sign that there is some lack of insight people have that cause them to follow through with actions like this.
