There are over 870 African American Families that get profiled each 3 months, racism is a big problem in America and there needs to be a way to prevent it from happening so often. This issue has been going on since the 1400s and in over 600 years we have done nothing to stop it. This problem affects families, children, and even pets, causing them to be profiled just for their skin color.

But one thing that they should read is all of the cases of black people either getting shot or profiled for the way they look. Racism is alive and well in the 21st century.

This evidence shows that the solutions to racism are mostly solved by open communication between each other’s race and that they should be more respect in the educational systems and on all sides of each other and that they should all agree that they are equal and set it at
