why is racism such a big problem in a supposed to be post racist america. well the answer to this question is simple it is not post racist actually if anything it is growing more racist then before.
one of the problems you encounter in a racist america is, if a white woman is walking out on the street one late night and turns around to see a tall big black man with sweats on walking a distance behind her she assumes he is a criminal, "maybe a mugger" but if this was a white man she might not think much of it. she might think he is just coming from a late night of work like her.now on the other hand if this was a black woman and she saw a man following her no matter what color he was she would be afraid. what i want is not for a woman not to be afraid if she saw someone behind her, but to not assume he is a criminal because he is black. now i am not saying the man was not a criminal the possibilty exist but the woman was a criminal guilty of racism.
