American Racism: Systemic Racism in the United States of America

America has long been hailed as the land of opportunity. Yet, for some citizens, equal opportunities seem just out of reach. Systemic racism, often identified as institutional racism, is an expansive web woven into the fabric of our society. It is present in various sectors such as housing, healthcare, criminal justice, and education. Unlike individual prejudice, systemic racism operates on a broader scale, perpetuating disparity and impeding the growth of minority communities. The journey towards a society free of systemic racism is a shared responsibility that involves unlearning prejudice, fostering an environment of inclusivity, and breaking down deeply rooted structures that perpetuate inequality.
It is no small task, but the good news is that progress is possible and change is within our reach.
