Racism is still a huge problem in 2018

The refusal by some to acknowledge it is concerning.

Poll after poll shows that too many white people still don't recognize or acknowledge racism even when it is as clear as day.

Unless one is someone who refuses to recognize and discuss racism, there is no reason to push back or divert from discussions concerning racism.

It's not a divisive issue, unless some personally make it such.

I am not as concerned if some, personally, are racist or bigoted, (racists are out there and they always will be) as I am with some who continue to defend or ignore blatant racists.

We can't stop the racists, but we can acknowledge that they are out there and call them out when we encounter them.

Racists need to be shamed. They need to know in no uncertainty that their attitude is unacceptable and that they are on the wrong side.
