Drop systemic racism for America to prosper
As an African American born and raised in the United States, I learned “100” is often considered “the best” (i.e., a grade, the age 100 or 100% agreement of any decision). In the United States of America, 100 simply does not exist. We are not and have not ever been 100% united. The name “United States” defies reality.
Every day of my life, each encounter of an individual of another race, I am subject to detect whether I will be met with respect or indifference because of my race. This is real.
The “old pandemic of racism” has plagued us for centuries. We need 100% support of leaders across state and party lines to agree on fundamental policies which serve to unite and protect us as a people.
How can a nation divided against itself prosper? What is the cure for racism?
