The Problem With Racism
The problem with racism is people are being targeted because of their skin color. For example, if a black man or woman is walking down the street with a backpack on, some police officers will pull over and check their bag. If a white man or woman is walking down the street with a backpack they won't get bothered. This is just one of the many examples of racism. Sometimes you can experience racism without even knowing it, for example when you are looking at a magazine and a model is on one of the pages it is almost always some pretty white woman.
As a white person, you have huge advantages otherwise known as white privilege. You might get a job that a black person was turned down from or you might get a different consequence than a black person would get. As a kid, you are always pretending to be in a war or a spy using your nerf guns pretending they are reel. But a black child could get shot by the police because they thought it was a reel gun even though they knew it wasn't because it is literally orange and blue. So black kids are missing out on one of the best parts of life because they could be killed. But as a white child, you could walk around in public with a nerf gun and no one gives a crap.

Racial Bias On The Internet
I was on my phone playing video games and came across these ads. I noticed that all of the hands in the ads were white instead of black and thought it would be a good idea to include them on my website. I wondered why the hands are all white and not black why would the creators of this ad do this? I think they didn't realize they were being biased and thought it would be normal. Next time you see an ad like this stop and think "Did they do that on purpose?"
When people think of racism they often think of racism towards black people but racism happens to tons of other races. The second biggest group is native people and it has been happeing just as long as racism to black people. People just don't pay as much attention to it as they do to BLM. But it is equally as bad and also has to end. So Let's End Racism Towards Black People And Native People!
