Even though we have made great strides in equal rights for all citizens, there is evidence that we have much work to be done. Striking down of parts of the voter rights act as well as mass incident such as katrina show that there are parts of our society that still hold on to views of the pre 1960s.
These people must respect our skin color

Some whites fought for equal rights, even in the face of a gun.
Vote equal rights, not special privileges.

A denial of opportunity, such as employment or admission to a higher learning institution, for example, based on the color of one’s skin color is an act of racism.
