How Does Racism Still Exist Today

Does racism still exist today? Many people nowadays are still racist today and doesn’t understand that we live in a world where all races are together. It’s not black or white or white and hispanic, it’s everybody. If people centuries ago overcame blacks not being slaves and segregated anymore than people in this world today should do the same.

Also when TrayVon Martin got killed by George Zimmerman because he thought he was suspicious. All these valid points lead to racism and when the people get released from jail or no action is taken towards them it seems that nobody cares what happens to black people. It’s not only blacks that’s getting mistreated, it’s also mexican.

Therefore we need to take a stand and teach people just because a certain person of that race acts crazy doesn’t mean they’re all the
