I believe the U.S. is not colorblind due to the fact that in airports, people are racially categorized.

  • Republican congress are against undocumented immigrants people; often times we are incarcerated for minor offenses (I.e. Vagrancy or homelessness). 
  • Very few families discuss racism. As a matter of fact only 37% of families talk openly about race, which makes racial discussions uncomfortable to millennials. 
  • Racism still exists because only 44% of African American families own homes versus 73% of white families. In other words, if the U.S. was truly a colorblind society, the numbers would be more equal. 
  • African Americans die four years earlier than whites; neighborhood homes; lower income; healthcare; income security; low-income housing and gang violence; healthy vs unhealthy food depend known where one lives. 
  • Stress because of income security
