Racism
1. I saw racism in the Richard Sherman case, where he is being called all kinds of racist
names because of what he yelled during his interview with Erin Andrews after the game.
2. When I worked at Justice in the mall I was told to watch a family of African Americans
super close because my manager was afraid they were going to steal clothes.
3. When I was at dinner with a group of friends one guy started talking about how he would
never date an African American very loudly and I found it very rude and saddening.
4. The Trayvon Martin case is just pure racism and the whole media coverage of it really
grasped how alive racism is in our country.
5. A man shot two African Americans when they were on his neighbors property trying to
get into his shed, didn’t approach them and ask what they were doing or call the cops,
instead shot them both.
