Death, hate, violence, abuse, and discrimination are all by products of racism. Not only does it leave a path of destruction it is also uncomfortably common. Racism is defined by prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. Such beliefs are inevitable due to human nature, the issue is the sheer magnitude of racism. Such beliefs are held across the world and it leads to civil unrest and even interpersonal conflicts. The primary effect racism has on individuals is the ability to manipulate them on a psychological level and even physiological level in extreme cases. The psychological effects of racism are often overlooked, which is unsettling because of the amount chaos it causes on the psychological level. Such chaos must be examined and studied in order to find the impact racism leaves on an individual. Impacts are often depression, anxiety, stress, neural processes, neurochemical changes, cognitive structures, and substance abuse. The list may not seem long but keep in mind that each subject listed yields it's own issues. The psychological effects of racism are vast and dismal, yet no one seems to really be informed. It’s rather ironic how vast the consequences are but no one really likes to discuss them. Regretfully topics such as mental health or psychological effects of certain events are swept under the rug. Regardless of the amount of attention it receives racism does have a

Although the specifics of the signified change slightly dependent upon time, place, and person, enlightenment of this type is a concept present in many different civilizations.

Racism has been a problem in the United States of America for a long time, dating back to early America when the Native Americans were often attacked, harassed, and killed. Another early problem of racism is the African slave trade. Enslaving and trading the African people amongst white people also helped contribute to the environment of a racist culture in America by demoralizing the African races and teaching white Americans that they are better than the African races. Although the civil rights of African Americans have improved over the last few decades and America now has an African American president, racism still has a strong presence. A common modern trend in America is incidental racism, which is giving other races equal opportunity and using other elements to justify racist behavior. Racism kills and at the same time saves the people. Racism is likely to kill people internally by damaging their emotions and well-being as a human being. Nobody likes to be at the end of the stick of racism, people would rather be able to live their lives free of racism. I see racism as a criminal violence only because it’s an evil force really. Of course, someone does not have to be racist because they are violent, or violent because they are racist, but I feel like racism is a crime and should be treated as such. I feel like most hate crimes are mainly because someone hates the other race. Hate crimes are increasing yesterday, today, and will
Institutional racism has solidified its position into various aspects of American society. It has installed itself into employment practices, all levels of education, healthcare, housing, politics and the criminal justice system. Institutional racism has made some subtle changes to replace the boldness of slavery and Jim Crow. However, in educational institutions the effects of racism and discrimination are so delicate they typically go unnoticed by students of color. Individual racism usually happens on the personal level where the prejudice is expressed either consciously or unconsciously while there is some form of interpersonal encounter. When it comes to institutional racism it is similar to the individual concepts, however policies and practices are associated with with the belief of racial dominance of one group over another. It is a powerful system that use race to determine power and privilege(Reynolds et al., 2010). Even after the desegregation of school, educational institution are still separated. In Shelby County where I have lived since 1999 there are schools for minorities, and there are schools for whites. The schools for minorities in the city of Memphis have police officers walking the halls and there no books for learning. There are higher numbers of Whites students enrolled in private, charter, and magnet schools in the more affluent segments of the county. They will be exposed to the advantages of a proper education because of their race and privilege
