Racial profiling
Over the years, there have been many instances of racial profiling and death being a result of that. We see numerous reports of young black kids being killed even if they are not in the wrong. How can we bring a change to this?
I personally think that we overall as a society need more exposure to people of color. I think including kids of color and such more in school activities will convince people that they are just like us. In the past, they used words such as “monkey” and would think of excuses to back up their claim. I think these days as more people connect, racial profiling has gone down. Most of the case studies we looked at happened around the late 1900s. Today, it seems like the situation has greatly improved. Although we still get reports of color-related incidents, such as the shooting of Michael Brown in 2014, it seems that overall violence and judgement towards people of color has gone down. As more and more people of color get involved in our society, I think there might be a day where we can look at all races equally.
