Racism interpreted by Robert Q

Racism can be defined in many ways. Today it is not just simply using forbidden racial slurs it is much more. It is just assuming things because of the way someone acts, dresses, or talks. For example, when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans there was an article that had a picture of a black woman walking through deep water carrying a bag full of food and holding a soda bottle. Under the picture it said, “black women who had just looted a local grocery store.” I believe that this quote is racism because the reporter had no evidence that she stole the food. A person today that showed racism is radio talk show host Don Imus. Don Imus called the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team, “nappy headed hos.” Due to his outrages commit he was only suspended from the talk show for two weeks.
