Racism is an issue in this country and it is just recently that anyone has taken any action to stop it. Some may have thought that racism was gone once slavery was ebolished, but that is not the case. Ask any black person to tell you the daily challenges and differ4ences they face compared to a white man and the list could go on and on. Some black men and woman will attest to the fact that if you 're in a group of all colored people and walking on a street, a lot of people who aren 't of color will lock their doors. This is not completeley their fault either. The stereotype that all black people steal or that they 're all bad people has been around for a while. People grow up how they 're taught to behave and the only way to end racism is to show this new generation not to look at color. Everyday people are killed by police officers, but more black people are killed annuanly than any other race. All over the news you 'll hear about the newest incident with police killing unarmed black people. These unarmed people not only are shot once, but sometimes are shot multiple times. If our law “enforcement” officers are trained to shoot then why are they shooting to kill when that is supposed to be the last resort? Why was Eric Garner choked to death begging to be let go and muffling the words “I can 't breath”? Eric Garner was a New York resident who was caught before selling cigarettes.
