She begins by challenging commonly held ideas about what racism is. She highlights how racist attitudes have created a racist system&#8230;which have created more racist attitudes. In order to stop the cycle, she illustrates 6 common ways that racism is institutionalized. Wealth disparities and housing, education, employment, mass incarceration, racial profiling, and police brutality are all touched upon. She ends by calling white America to stop making excuses that enable the past to continue and instead acknowledge the injustice right in front of us.<\/p>\n<p>REFERENCED, SOURCES, AND FURTHER READING<\/p>\n<p>WEALTH &amp;
