Racism exists worldwide and stems from selfishness and the human error of justifying getting rid of people who stand in the way of our wants, like abortion and racism. While some want to downplay racism, it still exists and causes mistrust between some African Americans and white people. Any concept of superiority over another can lead to racism, and black writers who step outside expectations face silence in black literary circles as destructive as racism. Racism remains a concern, as coming from privilege can prevent seeing it clearly.
