I can’t imagine the daily discrimination people of color receive. Many examples of white privilege are in large part the result of the privilege of being perceived as an individual rather than as a member of a racial group (Koppleman, 2014, p. 185). The book referenced Steven Spielberg being seen as a director, but Spike Lee is seen as a Black film director.…

    I do believe there is still racism in America. There is almost just as much racism in the air than there ever was. It is fuming into the minds of our youths and making this country more dangerous than it is. We are prone to more killings and abuse on mixed racism in the last couple of years.
