Ten call made to the police from white people who pass by the park reporting to the police the vandalism of the black kids compared to the 1 call that was made for the white kids that where vandalizing a car. This shows that America is a world of racism. This is a big world that has people who are stereo type and discriminate others. The black teenagers had more call going that the white kids. The white kids where ignored and the black kids cached everyone’s attention.
As one of the young black teenagers explain, he says that the other people where more interested in the people who where sleeping in the car who where black than the white kids that where trashing someone else’s car. What would you do is the question. Many people that walked by the black kids immediately call the police as appose to the white kids who where again ignored. Everyone had their cell phone on hand, calling the police. Everyone assumed that they where armed because their black and they could harm anyone who tries to stop them. Racism still exist in America today.

Three white teenagers are vandalizing a car in a suburban neighborhood. These teenagers are white, and most of the people around them are white. No one has really dare to say anything. Only a little hand full had the courage to step up and tell them off. Many people say that they don’t want to get involve because it brings consequences to them. They say that sometimes meaning the witnesses had to take time of from their job or their risking their life. There was not a lot of phone calls that where made to the police about this situation.
Mean while some other person makes a call to the police and says he sees three black guys in a car sleeping and they look suspicious. This call is being racist. I ask myself why didn’t they do anything about the white kids that where vandalizing someone else’s car. This was a racist call from someone that I’m guessing is white. The news also explain that stereo type whites think that all black people are all involve in crime situations or anything that out of the ordinary. People see black people as bad people. Like the situation of those three black kids that they were only sleeping in the car. The news guy ask the psychologist that how about if there were three white kids sleeping in the car, would they be consider suspicious? He says they wouldn’t they would just be consider three whit guys sleeping.
