The Permanent Racism

Persistent racism, often called "permanent racism," refers to the ongoing, systemic inequalities faced by certain racial groups due to historical, societal, and institutional structures that favor others. These ingrained biases influence access to education, employment, housing, and justice, creating lasting disparities. Unlike individual acts of prejudice, permanent racism is embedded in policies, practices, and cultural norms that perpetuate unequal outcomes across generations. Addressing it requires understanding these systemic roots and implementing policies aimed at equity and inclusion to foster fairness and reduce racial disparities.
