Racism

1. Problem

1.1. Back in the olden days, African Americans had been treated much more poorly than they are now. They couldn't share the same restroom, drinking fountain, etc. with the white. I still think this is a big problem today because a lot more people than you think are making racist jokes to one another and some don't like that. For example the KKK. These people are bad for the African American society because they know they're not accepted but really, they have no other choice.
