Answer 1

I think things are becoming better for them. But if anything bad happens to someone of that race, people claim it to be racism, when it could be an accident. But there is definitely still systematic racism. Dating back to George Floyd, it proves society still needs to be reformed. In the system, there are no reasons why a black man should receive a longer prison sentence than a white man who commited the same crime, under the same circumstances. But unfortunately, if there are crimes committed by a black person, sometimes they pull the race card, claiming they were arrested just because they're black. But that's why they have every right to record the arrest if they believe they are innocent. Like I said, there is 100% still systematic racism which needs to be abolished.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Things have changed a little bit over the years. There are no just colored water fountains, no just colored restaurants. Some people do not accept these changes. The riots that were happening- that are happening is because of that. I feel that all people should get along no matter the race, no matter the religion, people should get along. we are all people.
