Racism

Racism is still around in America but in certain ways it is not discussed. One area is eugenics. This is tinkering with the human genome to produce only acceptable offspring avoiding those considered inferior. Eugenics was used in the early 20th century to limit the number of Blacks. While this practice never gained much traction, it was later introduced under a different name. In 1973, abortion was legalized in the US and this led to 63 million abortions. While Black women represent only 7% of the population, they had 40% of the abortions, which was in fact, the goal of eugenics. Another example is social security. A Black man starting social security at age 62 will collect on average 15 years, while a White female starting at age 62 will collect for 23 years.
