Effects of Inherent Racism in Ferguson As citizens of the United States, we are all racist because we have grown up in this biased society. As humans we are only born with a certain amount of instinctual knowledge and the rest is then learned over time. In our society due to media and the nature of the people of the United States we are inherently racist and lying to ourselves saying that we are not. “Racism has been an issue since humans existed” (Burylo).

“Afterward, only 18 attackers [mob members] were charged and only two convicted for ‘rioting’ and ‘inciting to riot’” (“Duluth’s Shameful” n.pag.). This does not justify their actions, but it can partially explain them. These people truly believed in this racism, and only did not act on it because there were always consequences. When in a mob, these repercussions disappear. They can do what they want without the punishment or the guilt weighing down on them. However, this is not the case for all…
