Any incident of racial discrimination that occurs, whether you're a child or an adult, is always hurtful and scary. |
As more and more middle class African-Americans are moving to areas that are traditionally all-white, we're starting to see a lot of racial bias incidents like this occur. |
It's January, and soon we'll be celebrating the life of Dr. King and remembering his dream. So, it's always hurtful to civil rights workers and for African-Americans in particular when we continue to be the target of these kinds of incidents. Racial segregation is still a problem, and this shows that there is still a need for affirmative action programs in Michigan. |
There have been studies that show that African-Americans are under a lot of stress in this country because of racial discrimination. So, we're appalled that grown-ups would use their own racial bias to target a child. |
