Hi Class,
It seems that our country has had a resurgence in the past five years of struggles related to race. Michael Brown’s killing in 2013 and many other deaths of black men at the hands of police spawned the Black Lives Matter movement . BLM in turn caused a national debate about NFL players protesting during the National Anthem and the Blue Lives Matter movement.
We’ve seen white supremacist rallies and KKK members endorse Donald Trump during his campaign, bloodshed and violence at white supremacy rallies, like the one in Charlottesville that killed Heather Heyer. These events come at the heels of the two term presidential administration of our first black president.
If Barack Obama’s election to the presidency made anyone think it was evidence that racial tensions in our country had faded, recent events would certainly change their minds.
Has racism in our country gotten worse lately? Or has it always been there and people just feel more free to be vocal with racist comments and actions? What do you think?
