Racism wasn't abolished in 1865

Everyone who’s gone through high school should know about how minorities fought to gain some recognition in this country. According to the Constitution all men were created equal, however no one truly thinks of another person as their equal. Most of us have redefined racism so that it doesn’t seem as harsh. The main reason behind this is no one wants to express how they truly feel because of the threat of alienation by others because he or she acknowledges the fact that they are somewhat racist.
The term racism has been replaced with the term “pro-race”. It doesn’t sound as harsh as racism but it still holds some of its key components. When someone is pro-race, they believe their race is superior. An example of this, though not a direct example, is the phrase “God bless America and no place else”. One can imply that this means God shouldn’t bless another country. Is that what they are trying to promote? Maybe they are. Maybe they are not. However because the phrase is said as such, others may take offense to it.
Racism being abolished is a pipe dream. We can alter how the next generation thinks through our speech and examples. However, the ones teaching the next generation still harbor prejudices in their hearts. So how far can they go without slipping up? The child will most likely remember that one time when that slip up occurred rather than the millions of times when racial integrity was shown. We can’t change human interaction, because it takes more than one person for an interaction to occur.
I am not saying that we shouldn’t work towards a world where racism isn’t the problem. I believe that we should. It seems unrealistic to believe that everyone will not be racist over time. After all, we can’t control everyone’s minds, let alone their hearts.
