    The Troubles Literature Arises I never realized how prevalent racial discrimination is until I moved to Texas. I had never understood how much African Americans deal with everyday until a day at lunch. It was a normal Wednesday until everyone started jumping up from their seats and pulling out their phones to record a fight going on. I later found out that it was between an Black and White male.
