Racism in a Store

An Extension of Racism beyond the South

This video demonstrates that even when racism is prevalent the majority of people will not intervene. This not only eludes to the idea that people will turn a blind eye towards outward racism but people, even northerners, may not intend on even upholding the moral ground and intervening themselves. With this said, segregation and physical racism may not necessarily be as predominant as it has been in the past, but that the societal trend has moved away from progressively fighting racism. I believe this is true for two reasons, one because we have become complacent and feel as though racism has been almost entirely dissolved (not true in the least) and just apathy towards the subject either because we were so inundated with it before or because we have moved onto other problems to worry about (war, economy, etc.)
