That answer is varied depending on who ask, in my view is that there are spots of racism around the country in various states, cities, and towns. When it comes down to it most racism takes place in small towns and cities where and I hate to come off as a racist for saying this, but it's always in areas where whites are the minority and blacks are the majority and the white population in the area feel threatened because the main stream media paint a picture of blacks as criminals and not all black people are criminals.
The point of this is because of what's happening in Ferguson, Mo. you have the main stream media only showing people looting, stealing, and rioting and are saying that the people of Ferguson are trying to deescalate the situation themselves, but not showing them doing it they have all this coverage to show the ones rioting, but not a single camera is live when the residents are trying to deescalate the situation themselves. I guess all the main stream media care about is showing fear and I've been watching CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC. This isn't how the media is suppose to report on an incident of this magnitude they(the media) should all be reporting the same way and not promoting fear among the populous of the United States. The media at the moment is always trying to make the US fear something if it isn't terrorists they're trying to make minorities look like thugs and criminals to the rest of the country we need a news media that reports on issues in an unbiased nature so all news no matter which one you watch you will get the same news from each of them.
And when it comes to the police in the United States they need to hire more minorities so they have a proportionate number to represent the communities they serve like in Ferguson, Mo. where a majority of the population is black they should have more then three black police officers doing so would help in making the black residents feel they are equally represented.
