Understanding Racial Inequality
AllSides Summary
In light of Martin Luther King Day, news outlets debate the overarching state of racism in modern society. Some argue that the black civil rights battles are over, and that disparities between the races are not driven by racism, but by culture, such as trends surrounding marriage, education, and crime. Others say that racism is systemic, citing voter suppression, racial divides in schools, as well as studies that show blacks are sometimes scrutinized more heavily than their white peers.
