Although people think most racism died years ago there are still people who are explicitly racist and in reality a majority of people have implicit bias against other races. A great example of explicit racism is the hate groups that are located across the country such as the KKK. Although not as present as in was in the past explicit racism is still alive across the country. Implicit racism is being bias against other races unintentionally. The video of a white person stealing a bike and a black person stealing a bike clearly shows this. Both guys were stealing the bike but for some reason people only called the police on the black person and some people even helped the white person cut the lock. Although not intentional this is still being bias against black people. I like to think that I am not racist but I could be and not even notice it. If I am being honest there have been times growing up where i have judge people by the color of their skin because it is how society constructs them to be worse than white people and it is society implying this that causes people to be implicitly bias.
             Being a white male I would be considered very privileged. I grew up in a good area with good schools and plenty of opportunities. Growing up black it is more likely that they would grow up in a worse school and a worse neighborhood than I did. even though there is no difference between us other than the color of our skin it is still more likely for black people to grow up in poverty and in a bad area. This can be connected to employers implicit bias or racism and them being more likely to hire white people even if they do not mean to. White people have more privilege and having more opportunity to make money.  In my current school the number of white students is much greater than the number of black students who are enrolled there. My school is considered a good school and this shows how white kids growing up have more privilege than the majority of black students growing up.
