The KKK or the Ku Klux Klan is a white supremacist group notorious for the terrorism, murdering, and hanging of African American people. Most people believe that the KKK is no longer active and hasn 't done anything bad in years. Well, those people are very much wrong, the KKK commits acts of racism daily if they 're not protesting they are usually trying to recruit other people to join them in their horrendous activities. The reason they do these things is because they believed African Americans were purposely colored by god to let them stand out as inferiors to whites so that they could be used as laborers or some other type of peasant work. Although the KKK has not done anything insane in a while they still do protest about civil rights that African Americans have got over the years. To be sure, this whole problem of racism had a more direct feature in the past. …show more content…
We did not have to alternate to complex surveys and tests to reveal its extent. There used to be something blaring and understandable and terrible about racism the circumstances with some ridiculous virtue. A visible and blatantly declared enemy is so much more directly challenging than one that operates secretly. And that is the predicament of racism in our times. We have notions, suggestions, indications, if you will of racial bias all around us today. But it is commonly unspoken, if not altogether unseen, much of the time. And where it isn’t unseen there is often a reasonable cover story that can be said as to why racially distinction procedure was somehow justifiable or legitimate.

Minorities in recent years have been prejudiced with many examples to back it up. For one these black minorities have been more falsely accused of crimes in 2015 than the entire 2000s decade. Also a study done by the University of Virginia shows that 6/10 cops said they have been prejudiced toward minorities this survey was taken by over 21,000 people including all races. It is a shame that more than 50% of our law enforcement are prejudice showing that they may put 6/10 people in jail for doing nothing. Also I know racism is a big deal when every presidential election has to do with helping people from other races other than whites to become more equal. Also a potential president in Donald Trump has shown his racism over the past year with many remarks about minorities. Also other politicians have said many racist things such as Sen. Robert Byrd saying the N-word as if it was like saying hi to your friend, and Texas Sen. Larry Taylor saying a culturally insensitive remark while speaking about insurance he said “Don’t nitpick, don’t try to the Jew them down” and John McCain back in 2000 said “I hate the gooks” while speaking to the Vietnamese prison guards who tortured him. These are just a few people in the world of politics who have said something or done something racist. But there are many people who say something is racist that really isn’t.

“ I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” (Martin Luther King Jr. December 10th 1964 http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/martinluth107470.html ). This is a great representation on how people should view people of the other race and should face that we all live on a planet together and aren 't leaving anytime soon so we should just get along and succeed as one
