Black Men and Public Space Reflection

This story was about a twenty-two-year-old man who had just arrived at the University of Chicago and was a victim of racism. Women would run away from him, probably because they though he was a burglar, killer or rapist. He also experienced seeing a lot of his friends go to prison and a few of them get killed because of racism. People thought the poor man was a burglar went he went to a magazine’s office. It is a sad world we live in. Racism is a very common thing in the United States. White people would think they were superior and truth be told, this way of thinking is ridiculous. In my opinion, race is a social construct because at the end of the day we are all humans and white people treat them different because they look different from them. This is an extremely immature act and it is surprising that adults and people of high authority are racists for no reason. It is probably something cultural, taught from parents to their kids or from friends to other friends. It’s something that keeps expanding during time and has caused a lot of sadness and stress for the black and Latino communities. A type of racial war could occur again if we don’t put a stop to this. We must stop thinking the way that we used to think and change our perspective about this social construct before it is too late.
