Some high schools in the south have segregated proms. Still. Today. This completely blows my mind. The civil rights movement was in the '60s, people. Half a century has gone by. HOW can this still be happening? I know racism still exists, as I have felt it first-hand. But I didn't know that institutionalized racism still happened in this country. I thought we were beyond that. I thought we as Americans believed in the phrase "all men are created equal". Apparently not. I have no words.
