Talk about race...

I have always been a firm beleiver that race is, in fact, very important in the country that we live in. I ,myself, had never experienced any form of racism first hand until i set foot on this college campus. And after my football coach caught wind of this, i was told "it isnt the first time something like this has happened, and it wont be the last." This is the point that it really hit me, racism is still very much alive. although it may not be as blatant, or obvious as it once was, it is still very strong. if the fact of racism didnt exist any more then we wouldnt be finding black dolls being strung up, or people running around in black face. But, since racism is here, and it will probably never end these are the types of things that will continue to happen, i am just sad about the fact that in my eyes, before i came to the university of richmond, racism was pretty much dead, but now being placed in the situations i have been placed in over this first year of my college career, i see that some things will never change.
