Has The U.S. Moved On From Racism?

I believe the U.S. Is not colorblind due to the fact that in airports people are racially categorized

  • Jocelyn: Republicans congress are against undocumented immigrants, people often times are incarcerated for minor offenses (vagrancy or homelessness).
  • Lauryn: Very few families discuss racism. Only 37% of families talk openly about race, which makes racial discrimination unaccountable to millenniums 
  • Ruben: Only 44% of African American families own homes versus 73% of white families. If the U.S. was truly colorblind society those percentages would be more equal.
  • African American die four years earlier than whites. White people live in safer environments as  for African people they live in dangerous communities.
  • Mariela: African American how low paying jobs, they live in dangerous neighborhoods where gangs play a big role in their lives.
