Racism

I believe in racism. No, it is not as bad as it was to where blacks couldn't get jobs, adequate salaries, proper housing, or respect, but now it is more undercover. White people still turn their noses up at blacks, whites still denying blacks what is theres, whites still treat blacks differently just cause they are blacks, whites still try to seclude the blacks.. I see it everyday because I live in a majority white city (there are only 4%, maybe less, blacks in a city with a population of over 100,000.... I didn't know it until I moved, so maybe I should have done more research, but its my fault). It is not publicized because at the same time while being racist, whites are also scared of black folks. And because of so many laws that have been passed regarding racism, whites are scared of losing their jobs, their 'perfect' little families, incomes, and everything else that they got while downing the black man.

{And when I say whites I don't mean every single white person in the world, because there are some that treat all races equally. I mean whites as in the white society. Since the world always wants to generalize everyone and everything, the only thing the world would probably understand is another generalization}

I feel this way because I live this way and in this situation. Before I grew up around mostly blacks and some whites and never once experienced any form of racism but since graduating and moving away I have started seeing the 'real world' Maybe in some communities racism don't exist but in the real world it does.

You have to think about it realistically. Only less than 100 years ago, blacks were enslaved. They had nothing, couldn't get anything, and were denied everything. Why do people think that the 'white man', the same man who enslaved them years ago, would allow the black society to rise as they are doing and be happy with it.

Blacks are starting to enpower a lot of things.

• They are taking over the music industry (I guarantee that the black hip-hop, rap, and r&b stars makes more than the heavy metal and country stars)
• They are taking over the TV mainstream (Oprah)
• They are taking over sports (tennis: Venus and Serena, Golf: well back in the day Tiger (although he don't represent his heritage, but the dude sure ain't white), basketball: Shaq, LeBron, Kobe, Dwayne, just to name a few)
• And the lists goes on.

In the Forbes lists, the most powerful person in the world was Oprah. Blacks are really starting to rise and you think that the people who took away their power is just going to sit back and let that happen. Whites know that they can not be racist towards the powerful blacks cause it will be publicized (The whites would not want their actions made public casue it would not have been worth it due to the fact that the consequences to the white man will be more rewarding to the blacks than the joy that the white man got from showing racism and they would not want the blacks to be on top) but they can show racism toward the regular black folks that can either (a) not recognize the racism, (b) not afford a top-power attorney, (c) ignore it, (d) let it happen, (e) and lastly, do something illegal to fight back that will turn all criminal action to the black man and from the whites.
