I'm black you're white, who's innocent

I'm Black, You're White, Who's Innocent by Shelby Steele I thought was well written, but over written. I am a person who looks back on racism and I do not agree with it. Yes, I understand how bad it was, but we have come so far that racism is not as huge of an issue as it use to be. Personally I do not look at someone and judge them by what color they are. Skin is skin it does not change the person that they are.
If a African American man were to rob a bank, get caught and charged it was not because they were black it is because they committed a crime, and the same goes for a Caucasian. I know racism is still out there, and I do not think that people should be. It is not the color of your skin that makes you who you are. It is the person you are on the inside and how you treat other people.

  1. I agree.. Racism is still around but has definately improved within each decade. I think we are all equal no matter the color of our skin.
