The majority of people who have heard the word “racism” do not even know its true meaning. Racism perceived by most to pertain to and include all acts concerning racial issues whether it is good or bad. The word racism is far away from just a word, which names those who believe they think that they are superior to others simply because of their racial group, no more, no less and implies nothing else (McClain, 2018).
If one does not act upon this belief, it is not known, as one believes it. All acts concerning racial issues can be for many reasons, anger, fear, discomfort, environment, beliefs or experiences. In America, the situation is worse than ever, Racism is like oxygen it is everywhere in America. No matter what black man is doing, if you are black, you are going to be a victim of racism.
Racist embrace a negative connotation towards anybody not accepting his or her nature as being racist. As mentioned by Kendi (2017), the Constitution is like a Ten Commandments for The United States of America. It mirrors everything about Racism. Racism is a generalization about an entire race. Attributing racist beliefs to an entire nation is also a generalization. Attributing racist beliefs to another race, based on their race, might itself be a form of racism.
As stated by Guida (2020), to assume that there is only one definition that applies to all forms of racism would imply that all black people are a monolithic group and in and of itself, it would be an act of racism. For white people that are genuinely concerned about being politically correct and inoffensive.
For example, Some in America may argue that since the white man abolished slavery and gave African Americans homes means that we can, in essence, do no morally wrong. Because of this, racism and prejudice have evolved. Presently, racism in America is represented via mass incarceration (racism within the judicial system) and police brutality. In addition to this, Garcia (2016) has described police brutality is also a startlingly clear example of the racism ingrained in that of every American— even those charged to protect us.
According to Mapping the Police Violence, “Police killed 1,147 people in 2017. Black people were 25% of those killed despite being only 13% of the population.” This huge disparity between deaths and overall population show that law enforcement is heavily inclined to assume black people as more of a threat, even if the only weapon present is their skin tone (Andersen, 2017).
It is very hard to remove racism from US probably, some authors believe that some sort of government support can do that but it more often like deluding oneself into something that’s not only pie in the sky utopian, but incredibly naive. The only preventive measure US can do is education, teaching racial equality from the first grade.
