Racism is a core principle of America, as they say its as American as hotdogs at a ballgame and Apple Pie. I was honestly shocked at how the past view years the racism has become so open, they don't even try to hide it. I really thought as a people were were moving passed that. It's built into the system, I don't know how we can ever get rid of that cancer. I really don't understand how so many people can be ok with fellow humans being abused, imprisoned and murder by our own country solely because of differences is pigmentation. How they give shit to black people about being raised in fatherless homes when we are killing, and unfairly incarcerating them furthering the cycle. Its like the hamster wheel of hate.

Racism is foundational to the creation of this country. guillaumeb Feb 2020 #1
