Racism has been evident to Black people in America ever since stepping foot on its soil. Post civil rights movement it became advantageous to hide racism and shield it with unfair policies and systems.

Black people have been revealing and exposing this hidden racism for decades, but because of how engrained racism is in the foundation of America there has never been enough care to uphold the American values presented in the country’s founding documents.

Reagon declared war on drugs, which has been revealed as a war on Black communities. With Donald Trump as President, racism in America decided to reveal itself again. Once again racism is as obvious as it was pre-civil rights, out in the open for all the world to witness.

If you need evidence just say the names of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery or countless other Black people that have lost their lives to police brutality, white supremacy and racist vigilantes.

Watch how domestic terrorist attacked America’s democracy a few weeks ago at the nation’s Capitol. It is time for America to address racism differently. As @JoeBiden takes office, I implore him to not attempt to bottle racism up and hide it again.

I implore @JoeBiden to fully and authentically acknowledge racism in America and END IT. Give Black people the atonement they deserve. Declare war on racism, and be as vigilant against racism as Reagon was in poisoning Black communities.

This is how we should honor the legacy of Dr. King, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Rep. Lewis, Diane Nash and countless others that dedicated their lives to ending racism. Happy MLK Day!
