Racism Still Exists Today

    

     I'm about to tell you a story that will frustrate you.  The year is 1972.  In a small town there is a dedicated and effective science teacher at a high school named Lynn Albuquerque.  Every year her students pass the state exam.  Despite her devotion to her students one of them had approached her and made a threat.  The student said, "When I'm done ramming you, I'm gonna bag your daughter, then ram the bitch through the whole gang."  

     In fear from this threat, Albuquerque notified the school district, the police, and the district attorney's office of the threat by the student.  The student was then suspended for three days.  All seems just, right?  However, the penalty was later reversed.  

     The student was white, and the school administration was white.  However, Albuquerque was black. After the penalty was reversed, Albuquerque was then accused by an administrator for instigating the incident.  When she filed for workers comp relating to emotional trauma from the incident she was then disciplined in retaliation.  She was the third teacher to complain of racism.  What do you think racism?

     Heck yes!  Now, what if I told you this story is real event that happened this year, 2015, and the teacher is white, not black.  The administration and student is black.  Do you still think racism?  To many liberals they would probably argue, no.  

     This story was reported by New York Daily News, please read it!  So, what is the moral of the story and what's my point?  Racism does still exists, but not in the way so many people think.  Today we live in a society where the races are so polarized no one can relate the way we used to.  In no way am I trying to argue reverse racism.  So liberals who are reading, you can put to bed your "check your white privilege" argument.  Rather, what I am arguing is that we are further away from overcoming racism than we were in the 80's, 90's, and millennium.  

    We are so far away that today anytime a white person makes a claim of racism, the liberal population right away blames the victim.  If we ever want to overcome these racial tensions we have to start empathizing for one another.  That will never happen if we start labeling one another.  

    So, what do you think of Albuquerque's story?
