Yes. Sadly they are, it exists no matter how many say it does not, or that they are not prejudice.

White people own racism. It is up to us to change the course. It should be a simple thing to do, deep reflection...a mirror that one honestly looks into. Will it happen? Not soon enough, yet the world is changing and the fear is evident. Time to sit back and embrace the change...trust me it will be beautiful if we come together. Yet it is going to take a lot of hard work to get there.
