Discrimination and Racism...years and years later...


.....STILL Exist. I attend a university that credits itself of having the best criminal justice program in the state of Texas. But yet, when a student goes to speak with the dean about being discriminated against, even though he (the dean himself) knows its wrong, tells the student that it is OK and to just let it go??????????? What happen to respect? What happen to everything that Dr. ML King fought for? Without him I wouldn't be at this school, so if he stood up for what he believed, why can't I? That student is me and I refuse to back down because that would be something Dr. King would never do. I refuse to be the center of my professors jokes...or the one with the bad grades because I'm black.

Racism is still prevalent and alive today. Don't think for one moment you will never be a victim of racism or discrimination. Nowadays, it does not matter if you are black, white, or Asian, everyone discriminates against everyone...and everyone is looking out for themselves. Maybe I should start being selfish like the rest of the world huh? (I'm not, that's a rhetorical question)

Why do you think we are still fighting battles that were fought many many years before we were born????
