Racism Today?

After our class discussion about Race and Racism I couldnt do anything else but blog about it. Racism is something that we don't always talk about any more. Does that mean it doesn't exsist? No, racism is still very much alive today as it was 40+ years ago. Sorry to everyone that thought the war on Racism was over, but its not. Racism today is not as dangerous as it once was, but that does not mean that it doesn't hurt people just as much.
African Americans today are still going through the hardships they were going through for hundreds of years. Managers and interviewers are not suppose to discriminate and hand out jobs because of color, but they still do. There are no ways to regulate if a boss is doing so. Although our country has come very far, we still have a long way to go. Our country has created a stereotype that all successful people are white males. In almost all Canons humans have made there aren't any women, and certainly no African Americans. Why is this? This is because we have created this picture in our minds that white men are the ones on top of everything. In the work place and on the streets.
Black men and women had no respect at all over 30 years ago and still to this day that don't have nearly the same amount as whites. For our country to become the best we can be we have to invite and allow any one and everyone to reach their full potential. Without African Americans and Whites working together there is a whole umbrella of new ideas thats still closed even today.
