Racial Profiling

A growing trend of racist attacks in the United States just comes to show that the U.S. is in desperate need of social change. Just recently two, white, Jewish brothers were seen attacking a young black teenager without merit, similar to the Trayvon Martin case. The two brothers claimed the attack as self-defense because the young, 15-year-old boy held a wooden stick, but clearly this is another racial profiling case.  The brothers surrounded the teenager, pinned him to the ground, repeatedly beat him with a hand-held radio, and yelled racist remarks, leaving the boy with a broken wrist and a cut at the back of the head. Although racism is not as severe as it once was fifty years ago, racism is clearly still relevant today. Perhaps spurred by the Trayvon Martin case, or perhaps a completely separate incident, but regardless, this is yet another unjust, racist action. We know today, more than ever before, that racism is unjust and unfair and unjust, yet deliberately continue to allow it to occur today. Hundreds of years of racism cannot be reversed overnight nor within years, but it must be reversed eventually.
