do we still live in a racist culture?

A self depicted redneck and former racist says that it is time that white americans owned up to their bigotry, he clarifies that white culture is racist and, as a reality (we) live in a supremacist society which is full of white supremacy which is just devoted to white individuals in everything , from the media to education, art, culture, and, politics. He continues clarifying how white supremacy provides benefit and, creates inequality within the nation, consequently, this force had created slavery in the past, and has also created a culture in which white supremacy existed and, it has especially profited the white nation for more than 400 years. He exhortation that for the most part white individuals ought to assume some liability for the results they have beforehand made, he over and, again contends white individuals to quit being guarded about prejudice and, perceive the truth and, concede how they have been profiting from this privilege. General his intention is to send an important message across the world in regard of the current circumstances regarding racism, he wants individuals to stand up and, speak up in order to stop racism. by suggesting individuals to take an interest rather than disregarding prejudice. He very accepted that, it is the inaction that has constantly destroyed other individuals and, other nations, he likewise specifies how some white americans have overlooked and, denied bigotry they typically say they don't see color. this is a reasonable illustration of color-blindness, as he urges white individuals to consider the encounters confronted by ethnic minorities and, get to be more compassionate, by stating “ think beyond your own experience, think beyond your own self, and imagine the privileges you have just because of your color skin”this helps me to remember Du Bois and, the idea of the double Consciousness, he expresses that double consciousness is always looking at yourself through other’s eyes.  He discussed being African but also American, that they were two separate thoughts and souls, in the sense of how he would not like to "Africanize America" or "change his soul with white Americanism" in light of the fact that each had something to educate the world. He wishes that he could be both American and Negro without other individuals passing judgment on him, in this manner he must act in a particular manner to have the "American Dream" that has been headed to Americans for a long time. another great sample of supremacist society as indicated by class discussion would be Goldberg ideas of the three components he depicts as to help in comprehension prejudice and, how bigotry shows in society. These components are illustrated as the primitive, the underclass, and the Third World. Each of these components are utilized by somebody who is depicting the "others" as individuals who are not like them. Anybody that varies from somebody's own particular society is characterized under one of these three classes and this can fortify bigotry and victimization the individuals who vary from another person. Goldberg portrays racist discourse as a way that attests predominance and power in one's own particular society, which is the motivation behind why as expressed in the video by the individual who recognizes himself as a redneck, he uncovers his last word by saying the accompanying words “If you hear something racist stand up for it”.
