From the Paper:

"The effects of racism in the United States are felt at all levels of society in more ways than most people are aware of. Some of the effects are positive for those who are in power, but any racism in a society affects everyone negatively. This paper will briefly address a small number of the effects of racism on individuals and society, why people discriminate, under what circumstances and in what situations, and some of the legal steps that have been taken to reduce racism in the US. Unfortunately, racism is still alive and well in this country, if perhaps in more subtle ways, and it hurts people at every level of society as well as individuals."
