Race Prevails
Race and racism continues to exist because it is not only about categorizing humans by physical traits, but also about a race to POWER. In America, race benefits whites allowing them to be rich and powerful at the top of a created caste system. Whites are prejudice to defend their privilege of position and thus "stand to gain emotionally, culturally, socially and economically from an attitude of prejudice towards others" (Rosado, C. 2012). As long as there are benefits from INEQUALITIES between races, this system will continue to exist. For now there is white supremacy, but just as history shows with the rise and downfall of the ancient black Egyptians, the first civilization, white reign will fall and there will be a new dominant race in due time because RACES are in a constant competition for power.
