Progress
Progress takes time. Progress helps people change for the better, as a whole individual, nation, or even world. Progress is the change that we want to see ourselves’s and in the world.

However, racism still exists today and the climb is not over for African-Americans. They still have some black stereotypes placed on them, however when people try to stop racial stereotypes they progress in a way by not making jokes or fun of the situation.
