Abstract
This research paper identifies how past racism in America is connected to the current racism that people of color face and experience through oppression and disparities. Racism is manifested through all of the social, economic, educational, and political institutions in America. Traditional racism has been transformed, hidden, and replaced under symbolic, colorblind, and liberal racisms that benefit white America. Different scholarly authors ' studies on racism in America have been analyzed to show that minority racial groups are suffering through the hands of white America’s racism. The results proved that racism in America is a current epidemic that is disguised through new practices, and is controlled by white people with power. It is Caucasians’ responsibility to eradicate racism in America.
Racism in America: Modern Day Slavery

Racism in America is still an epidemic people of color continue to experience through social, economic, and political institutions in America.

Wallis (2007) in his article America’s Original Sin: The Legacy of White Racism explains the history of America and white society on how it received its power through the enslavement and “genocide” of African and Native Americans (pg. 197). Wallis (2007) timelines the historical events of how racism and enslavement started in America, how it still exists in America, and explains the root of racism is based on economic dominance (pg. 198). Historical racism legacy effects all people of color; it has had a penetrating effect on African and Native Americans in the past and the present.
