Racism In America

“Hating people because of their color is wrong, And it doesn't matter which color does the hating it's just plain wrong”-Mahatma Gandhi. America is far from having quelled its racism problem. Whether it's treatment by police or susceptibility to poverty, one's skin color can determine a whole range of variables in life. Particularly, blacks in America face a disproportionate number of social and economic barriers — but the racial problem is not binary. It extends way beyond a white-black disparity, affecting Hispanics, Arabs and a miscellany of other minorities. ¨Our courts have their faults, as does any human institution, but in this country our courts are the great levellers, and in our courts all men are created equal.¨-Atticus Finch .In

Another showing of economic racism being in the form of pay. Hispanic and black men and women consistently earn less than white, asian, woman and men. With the smallest gap

“Ignorance and prejudice are the handmaidens of propaganda. Our mission, therefore, is to confront ignorance with knowledge, bigotry with tolerance, and isolation with the outstretched hand of generosity. Racism can, will, and must be defeated”. My last reason for showing that economics are racist is the schooling for different kinds of kind of people. According to studies from the U.S Department of Education, public schools of color get less veteran teachers and have a get more punishment. The studies also revealed that black females were suspended at a rate of 12 percent this is far greater than girls with other ethnicities in fact this percent beat out most other boy categories.“This data collection shines a clear, unbiased light on places that are delivering on the promise of an equal education for every child and places where the largest gaps remain”.

Racial Profiling
The color of your skin can determine the treatment from others. Most of the time when it comes to racial profiling and racism most people think of blacks getting shot down by the police or the law, sometimes people even taking matter into their own hands. A
