Almost 50 years ago a young man had a dream he had a dream


Almost 50 years ago a young man had a dream. He had a dream, "that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" (King, 1963). Many feel that we have come a long way since that day in August 1963. "Traditional racism," which involves open bigotry, such as segregation, hate crimes, activities of supremacist groups and such, usually based on beliefs about the biological inferiority of blacks, is definitely not as evident today. However, many feel that "modern racism," which is a compound of hostility, rejection, and denial on the part of whites toward the activities and aspirations of black people, is still very much alive. Often times this racism is in the form of "institutional discrimination."

For this essay, you are to consider evidence of modern racism in your own lives, your community, or the nation. You might want to look in your work place, in the school systems, in your neighborhoods for evidence
