In today's society, we are presented with the idea that we have equality and still to this day, people of color face discrimination. The concept of discrimination is very grey because it comes in all forms, not just on race. In today's world, we preach that we want to all get along, all races, and yet still we are dividing ourselves. Modern segregation is real, and as much as we like to think our society has grew from that part of history, it is still sadly in place. Being "racist" is not something anyone is born with, it is something that is taught and it's taught because people grow up and believe stereotypes and then teach that to their youth. This then leads us down a road where we have tried for so long to steer off of. As much as we'd like to see less of it, racial discrimination happens every day, and it's from all races.

Racial profiling is when you suspect someone of committing a crime based on their stereotypes tied to their race and in the United States this is a huge issue. We see it in law enforcement, education, our jobs, when you travel and just everyday life it unfortunately happens.

If you look around you see almost every one is listening to music and there is a reason why we are constantly listening to music.
