¨Still happens today, just disguised differently.”

Whereas my ancestors dealt with the troubles of blatant racism, today, Blacks may find themselves in a position in which we are still facing racism, it’s just coded differently. Sometimes, it’s in the face of a disgruntled white employer who may depict you as an angry Black woman, or a department store employee who believes that you need to be watched just a bit more closely.
