Racism01

             Attack The Source There really is no way of getting around it. There is a great deal of
             racial tension in the United States today. Nine out of ten people in society today believe
             that racism does exist and is something that affects millions of people everyday. There is
             not much arguing that can done with a statistic like that. What is it that causes so many
             problems between each other? Is it that we are afraid of the unknown? Whatever the cause
             is, we have been trying to fix the problem for many years now. Since racism is learned and
             not genetic, it is something that needs to be taken care of in school starting from the

             Neo-Nazis, and Skinheads. These are hate groups that threaten and dislike people, not for
             the content of their character, but the color of their skin or what country they are from.
             although these are extremes when it comes to racism, it is something that affects so many
             people everyday in the United States. What is racism real...
