Racism Blog #2
I really hate racism. I think a lot of people try to deny that racism is present in society, but it definitley is. Because we live in a very sophisticated, wealthy town it may not seem as prominent to us, but it does exist. In other areas of the country it is soaring. Some interesting facts I read based on a CNN poll were,
Story Highlights
“• Poll shows most Americans consider racism a problem
• Blacks more than twice as likely to call racism a “very serious” problem
• Almost half of whites and blacks say they know someone who is racist
• Only a few of either race say they are racially biased themselves “
I agree, I don’t seem to think that racism is a very big issue in the world. But I’ve come to realize that other parts of the world there are huge issues with racism, and I hear about people suing others for firing them becuase their black.

that really surprises me. I have never really seen or heard specific stories of racism, which is why I had no idea it was such a serious problem. After doing these racism blogs, I realized that racism still is a large problem. The fact that almost half of white and black people know racist people it really scary.
