Point
The article talks about the prevalence of Racism in the American society and many agree that it is a big problem. Throughout the American Society, increasing numbers of people are saying that racial tensions are increasing in the country. With all the shootings of blacks in the country by the cops, it seems that racism is active in several parts of the American society. In a new form of racism is being practiced by people in the police suits as they do not give Blacks an opportunity and consider them criminals eve before interrogating them. More people are now aware of the racial events in the country and the black and Hispanic community strongly believe that racism is on the rise in the country. Even college campuses are spared as Black and Hispanic have reported several events where they had to face racism from their classmates or professors. Even though things have improved from the 50-60 years ago, there are instances of racism resurfacing in the society (Shoichet).
