People feel no desire to talk about it because many feel personally attacked about whether or not he/she is racist, especially if he/she receives benefits from being white in America. Plus, even without racist Americans, racism can still exist due to the racism embedded in "social institutes" and systems. ]]> 2021-05-20 13:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/spencea8551/74zyfbb2lkkilrb/wish/1543778833 spencea8551 https://padlet.com/spencea8551/74zyfbb2lkkilrb/wish/1543841213 America is racist through the racism that exists in its social institutes. The gaps in the way that different races are treated in the healthcare system, criminal justice system,  educational system, etc show the racism that exists in America. ]]> 2021-05-20 13:51:25 UTC https://padlet.com/spencea8551/74zyfbb2lkkilrb/wish/1543841213 spencea8551 https://padlet.com/spencea8551/74zyfbb2lkkilrb/wish/1543887032 Most of Americans believe that race relations are bad, and that people not seeing discrimination is a big problem.

Most ethnic groups are prevented from getting accepted as part of American society; therefore there is a racial divide in America. ]]> 2021-05-20 14:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/spencea8551/74zyfbb2lkkilrb/wish/1543931014 spencea8551 https://padlet.com/spencea8551/74zyfbb2lkkilrb/wish/1543965755 African Americans used to be primarily affiliated with the Republican Party, but it has now flipped. This change is mainly due the fact idea that the Republican Party does not care to address the inequality in the US or people's rights. ]]> 2021-05-20 14:17:03 UTC https://padlet.com/spencea8551/74zyfbb2lkkilrb/wish/1543965755 spencea8551 https://padlet.com/spencea8551/74zyfbb2lkkilrb/wish/1543985773 It was found that many Republican party members don't see race or social welfare issues as real or big problems in America. So, the reason for many African Americans as Democratic is due to racial issues and the different standpoints that the two political parties have on them. ]]> 2021-05-20 14:21:05 UTC https://padlet.com/spencea8551/74zyfbb2lkkilrb/wish/1543985773
