QAQ Reading Response #4 Racism is sadly still a prominent thing around the world. This last election, I feel brought out a lot of racist people.

If racism never existed the world as we know it would be completely different. Hitler wouldn’t of tried taking over Europe, which ended up causing millions of people their lives.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. appealed and he is somebody every American can be proud of” (Rorty 356). We as in the country has also made a lot of mistakes which, we can learn and grow
