How would you feel?

Yes, I feel that racism still exists in many ways. People still call each other "nigger"; "cracker"; "white trash"; and "spic." People can be serious or just joking, but it is still a racial comment. I have never experienced any racism, but I do hear it a lot in school and out on the streets. In the book, "Monster," Steve Harmon is experiencing racism.

I believe that there is racism in our country's court/system because the white people do much better than the minorities(Black, Hispanic, some Asian). If the court is fulled of white people and a black or Hispanic is on trial, do you think (s)he would get treated fairly? Can a minority get a fair trial? I think they wouldn't get treated fairly. On a daily basis, the average a minority would get is at least five months to a year. A white person would only get 3 months. That really isn't fair. Like in my book. I don't think Steve would get a fair trial. He's black and everyone in the court sees him as a guilty criminal. His attorney/lawyer doesn't want him to go to trial no more. She just wants him to do his time. She feels that he shouldn't take the heat. Every trial, Steve gets treated like a monster but no one knows if he's guilty or not. They see it as, He's black he's guilty. IN LIFE, THATS THE ISSUE PEOPLE GO THROUGH...IF YOUR NOT WHITE!
