Allen, John R. “Systemic Racism and America Today.” Brookings, Brookings, 11 June 2020, www.brookings.edu/blog/how-we-rise/2020/06/11/systemic-racism-and-america-today/.

The United States, is federal republic and representative democracy, which claims being civil and equal to citizens, despite race, sex, gender, and orientation. Such structure provides the constitution, responsible for human rights protection. African-American people were denied educational opportunities and prohibited from any religious parties. The freedom of speech and expressing personal opinions are part of our fundamental rights; White supremacy was taking intense effort to violate them. 

john R.Allen Thursday, June 11, 2020 talks about how Unaddressed systemic racism is, in my mind, the most important issue in the United States today. And it has been so since before the founding of our nation.

They had ideas from the facts were happening from historical effects and also close history that affected so many around the world an still so many people are afraid that is main idea that author is talking about and writing to let people know. “Truly, the very nature of our “national soul” is at stake, and we all have a deep responsibility to be a part of the solution.”

In conclusion, humanity should evaluate not only physically, but mentally as well. Time does not pass by for waste, we should educate and support each other in the ways of achieving the dream Dr. King had. The unity is full of justice, fairness and pursuit of happiness for all. There have been created many anti-racist organizations, such as : “black lives matter.”, “Campaign zero”, “Community movement builders”.. Etc. It is more critical than ever that we all stand in unity with one another during this global crisis. 

My opinion towards the topic is that we can not have negative views towards people with skin color and their cultures, specially we evolved to next era that won’t accept wrong views to others every one is individual by it’s own self no one has right to judge any one because they don’t look same.

Definitely agree with authors ideas they are mostly on the side of change Allen, John R wants to open peoples understandings to look right way of thinking what’s right and what’s wrong, as he says “I firmly believe that we as Americans cannot remain silent about injustice. Inaction is simply unacceptable, and we have to stand up and speak out. “

The genre with this source is almost documentary real life sources that really happened not to long ago.’I firmly believe that we as Americans cannot remain silent about injustice.” the best quote that comes out good idea that gives people to fight for their right and believes.

Racism creates many other enduring issues affecting a person’s mental health. For instance, so many children are bullied at school, just because some parents could not raise their child properly and teach the right lesson.Prejudice and hatred are learned behaviors. They are acquired habits that can be modified. Children pick up on prejudices from the people of their lives, as well as the newspapers, books, and their peers. At a young age, the process of countering negativity with positives starts. Children’s bias is not intensified when mentioning discrepancies. Dr. Mary Dowd,The Effects of Racism in Schools 10 Jan. 2019

everyone is affected, but particularly students from historically oppressed racial groups, according to a statement on racism issued by the National Association of School Psychologists in 2012.Students subjected to racism from peers or teachers may respond with anger.In authors conclusion she meant to say that problems that they have makes them less competitive when applying to highly selective colleges.

In my opinion the author is differently right about the topic she is talking about she wants to show others how does schools effect kids with their personal views to others that mostly effected negative to others and for their future. Students who fall behind are less likely to finish high school, attend college or earn middle-class wages. Closing achievement gaps is considered the most pressing civil rights issue of the 21st century.

I believe the topic the author write about we need to payattantion the problem because this is not just anyone it’s about all of us,effects us in any kind of way just because of this we go to work and solve this problem especially when it’s about the kids and their needs.”Students who are always in trouble may get discouraged and drop out of school, according to the University of California, Los Angeles Law Review.”she explains why do we need to be aware to this problem and try to solve what ever it takes.
