In the United States, efforts to combat systemic racism are frequently spotlighted, but do these actions truly measure up to the deep-seated issues they aim to address?
1. Insufficient Policy Changes

Most policy changes are too superficial to address the deep roots of systemic racism. Is surface-level change really all we can manage?
2. Underfunded Educational Reforms

Education reforms targeting racial equity are chronically underfunded. Why can’t we prioritize funding where it’s needed most?
3. Economic Disparities Remain

Economic initiatives fail to close the racial wealth gap significantly. When will we take real steps to fix this?
4. Inadequate Representation in Politics

The lack of diverse representation in politics continues. Aren’t our leaders supposed to reflect America’s diverse population?
5. Racial Profiling by Law Enforcement

Racial profiling is still prevalent, despite widespread criticism. Why is this discriminatory practice allowed to continue?
6. Bias in Criminal Sentencing

The justice system shows clear racial biases in sentencing. Isn’t justice supposed to be blind?
7. Disparity in Healthcare

Healthcare disparities are stark and life-threatening. How many more studies do we need before we act?
8. Segregation in Housing

Housing policies still result in segregation. Why does America still have ‘black’ and ‘white’ neighborhoods in 2024?
9. Employment Discrimination

Employment practices continue to disadvantage people of color. Isn’t it time for equal opportunity to mean something?
10. Underrepresentation in Media

Media representation is lacking or stereotypical. Why aren’t more diverse stories being told?
11. Unequal Access to Technology

The digital divide hits communities of color hardest. How can we ignore this gateway to opportunity?
12. Environmental Racism

Communities of color often face worse environmental conditions. Isn’t everyone entitled to clean air and water?
13. Overlooked Cultural Contributions

The contributions of racial minorities to American culture are often ignored or undervalued. Why is our history so selective?
14. Inequitable School Funding

Funding for schools in minority neighborhoods is often lower. How is this fair to the children?
15. Bias in Public Policy

Public policies frequently fail to consider their impact on racial minorities. Are we not all constituents?
16. Lack of Support for Minority Businesses

Support for businesses owned by minorities is not enough. Isn’t economic empowerment crucial?
17. Neglected Rural Minorities

Rural communities of color are frequently overlooked in policy making. Aren’t they also part of America?
18. Cultural Insensitivity

There’s a general lack of cultural sensitivity in public discourse. Can we not learn to respect all cultures?
Is This Enough?

Clearly, America’s efforts are far from sufficient. When will we see actions that truly match the magnitude of systemic racism? It’s time for more than just promises.
