Racism has been around for many years. Slavery is one of the most dominant ways of teaching racism now. People use to get beat and killed depending on their skin color. Not only did it happen with African Americans but it also happened with the Hitler takeover. Some of those people got killed depending on their skin color. It's a cruel thing that has been around for a very long time. Every race has been hit by it in some type of way. Many problems in our world have revolved around race and ethnicity. Many altercations have occurred due to racial discrimination.
The movie Remember the Titans was a good film that portrayed a lot of racial discrimination. Based off a true story the movie was released in 2000. Coach Herman Boone, played by Denzel Washington, was an African American coach that was brought in to help be over the newly integrated football team. When they brought him in to help he caught hell from the rest of the coaching staff as well as catching problems from upset parents. Because of his race, it was hard for him to be accepted and the white people didn't take him having such a high position very well. Due to the time of this taking place, racial integration was still fairly new and an African American wasn't expected to have such a high role in their work.
