Our next chapter is on Civil Rights. Do you think racism is still an issue in 2014? Write one paragraph

      Yes, because everyone is still racist against blacks, middle east, and Asian. Not to long ago a black family was kicked out of a restaurant because two white men said they were threatened. Everyday were talking bad about the middle east because of an incident in 2001. Were constantly talking about how we need to put an end to immigrants coming to America when all they do is the jobs we don't. So yes racism is still happening a lot.
