Denial

              I read the chapter on denial, this chapter goes into detail of how white america denies the fact that there is still racism in the USA. Many whites believe that when the blacks got their civil rights, racism somehow ended automatically.  This, sadly is not the case, racism is  still out in America.  Another topic of this chapter is about the myth of reverse racism.  Whenever a white person doesn't get a job because they were competing against a black person, they say it's because they need to get more black people working for them to increase diversity.  At the University of Michigan, a white girl sued the university because about 100 blacks, Latinos, and American Indians who had lower grades and test scores were admitted while she was not.  She even won the case.  But also about 1000 white people with lower grades and tests scores were also admitted.  The article tells us hat what we think is racism against us is really just coincidence and others just being better at some things.
             Another part of this chapter is looking back on when the author traveled to give an anti-racism speech at a college outside Twin Cities, Minnesota.  When he got there the author asked three white liberals about racism on campus, they told him there was no racism on campus or anywhere in Minnesota.  The author then talked to blacks, Latinos, and American Indians, and as he thought, there was racism not only on campus, but in Minnesota.  There are no places with racism, racism will always be in America. 
              Personally I think that whites know that there is racism in America and they just either don't want to admit it, or they don't admit it in hopes that will hide the racism.  Everybody has slight stereotypes that they may even be unaware of, and therse stereotypes will never go away.  Racism will always be denied by whites, because they just don't want to believe that we havent gotten over things that began 500 years ago.
