it doesn’t affect you directly; you may not understand the significance of racism. I believe that I hold some bias due to my race and social class. Denial is thoughts believed and what one perceives as real based on one’s own thoughts. One white American may believe in denial while another may not.

Depending on the situation and participants involved;…
because they think they are better than the others. In the play “ A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry, you can see how race becomes a huge impact because during the slavery movement till 1960’s there was a conflict between the African Americans and white americans due to their skin color.

I truly believe that our nation has definitely made progress in the area of racial injustice. One aspect that clearly demonstrates my belief is the fact that segregation and restrictions no longer exist in public.
