Racism has been apart of history in every civilization, to think America currently does not have issues with racists is naive. On a daily basis people are being segregated because of the color of their skin. It is hard to believe that someone would have prejudice views towards certain races, yet this terrible occurrence happens daily. Whether you are from mexican or native american backgrounds, in the eyes of some people you are considered a minority. It is troubling for me know that people everyday are going through struggles because of their race, I don’t think white people understand how lucky they are that they are white, the hardships that black persons have to go through would have crushed many of the white people I know.

If the voting system wasn't anonymous i'm sure the election would have been different. This is the opposite of what was needed for the fight for equality. We now have a leader that is against the fight for equality, and the worst part about it is that he doesn't think he is a racist. This is related to the American Law assignment that I had to do, no one thinks they are prejudice they just
