Systemic racism has been with our country before its independence. Not even to mention genocide and slavery. All these were part of the founders' principles of thought and the foundation of our country’s economy from its start.
Despite a civil war fought and won against slavery, racism in the United States is rampant and ubiquitous.
However, this is not only an American issue, it is a huge worldwide human problem.
“Because things are the way they are they won’t stay the way they are.”
It seems inevitable that it will change as tribalism and notions of any superiority, racial, religious, or otherwise, will die out - if the human race is to survive. It is not up to our reasoning, or any other human conceit or imagination - but evolution. There is only a slim sliver of hope for humanity to evolve in time. If not, we’re done.
Whatever it will be, nature will take care of it all, including us. It always prevails. It’s impartial; it has no regrets and doesn’t look back. It will find new places to go.
