“Every jumped on him, beat the hell out of him… Everybody was hitting him or kicking him. One guy was kicking at his spine. Another guy was kicking at his spine. Another guy hitting side of the face… He was unconscious. He was bleeding. Everybody had blood on their forearms. We can back up the hill laughing… He should have died… he lost so much blood turned white. He got what he deserved”. Racism is objectively defined as ay practice of ethnic discrimination r segregation. Fortunately, racial violence s steadily declining as the turn of the century approaches. Now a new form of racism, convert racism, has recently sprung from the pressures of political correctness. This new form of racism, although slowly declining, still shows signs of strong support. Convert racism assumes a form of civil disobedience against politically correct thought and speech. Essentially, covert racism is a “hidden” racism, or a racism not easily detected.

Racism is still strongly prevent in almost today’s all developed societies. The three different basic forms of racism, open racism, violent racism, and covert racism all express forms of hatred towards distinct ethnic groups. These basic forms of racism, although different in form, all have the same main purpose, to promote racism. Open racism expresses freedom of racial thought and speech. Open racists promote their views through strictly persuasionary tactics. Open racism is currently not declining. Violent racism through violence, fear, and persuasionary tactics. Unfortunately many violent racial groups claim they do not promote violence Covert racism expresses ideas of racism in disguised forms; sometimes the convert racist is not even aware of fact he is racist. Racism, it is asserted, is no longer blatant: people nowadays are reluctant to express openly their dislike of and contempt for minorities, indeed to express publicly a sentiment that could be interpreted as racist. Racism, it is said, is subtle: It is disguised, kept out of sight. The suggestion that there is a new racism – a racism strength precisely because it doesn’t appear to be racism- deserves serious consideration. Avoiding minorities on the street and denial of a public benefit to a minority which would be awarded to a white are examples of covert racism.

In some cases it is no longer politically correct to openly express one’s racist views, people therefore favour disguised, indirect ways to express their bigotry. Covert racism is the most abundant form of racism in our society today .what causes racism? Unfortunately, the answer is much longer and detailed than the questions. The three main causes for racism has become part of our heritage, right-wing racial and political groups, and pride in one’s own race. Practically since the dawn of man’s existence man has undoubtedly noticed differences between races. Racism’s presence throughout the formation of our culture is quite evident. Frequently throughout history the ethnic group with the most power has assumed that its race and culture are superior to others. The same incident even occurred in America with the introduction of slaves. Throughout American history, racism has been strongly prevalent, as in almost European societies.

Racism roots lie deep within the foundation of every society. These roots undoubtedly are the source for a great many of the racist groups and covert racism ideas found throughout the society. Extremist and political groups, particularly those advocating right-wing polices of racial inequality, promote racism as well. These groups serve as the epitome of racial thought and speech. Racist groups now make extensive use of covert racism to extend their message of racism throughout the society. This form of racism has proven quite effective, even in the United States, in the past ten years, at persuading others to adopt racist ideas. These groups serve as a symbol of racism itself to many in American society.

A large source of the racism present in any society stems from one’s pride in his own race. Many people, especially those associated with racist groups, find it necessary to put down other ethnic groups in an attempt to strengthen their own. This mode of thought and reasoning usually results in extreme hatred of other races and an overall sense of bigotry. Reasoning in this manner equates too many associated with racist groups. Pride in one’s race may eventually lead to covert racism thought. Covert racism effects a society in a va

Indeed it should be said that covert racism has permanently sacred the societies, both politically and socially. Racial politics have changed since the era of the civil rights movement, when the issue of race, at its heart, came down fundamentally to whether whites were prepared to accept other races as their equals.

Now, however, the issue of race has become more complex in western nations. More complex because there are now multiple agendas including affirmative action, quotas and set-asides. The main agenda revolves around affirmative action, steps taken by an employer, school, or other institution to expand opportunities for blacks, Muslims people, women or other minority groups. Many whites view special treatment by their governments for past discrimination towards themselves. This “reserves discrimination” has lead to many debates and controversies concerning race and racial politics. Unfortunately this sort of political environment encourages covert racism in many whites as a counterattack against affirmative action. Political system must first become racially unbiased before his society may become more ethnically diverse. If all men are created equal, then why should differences in race matter? This is the teaching of Islam. Unfortunately western societies have not lived up to the standards of ethical codes. Racism, especially covert racism, still affects their societies socially. Covert racism is a form of civil disobedience for racists to spread ideas of racism throughout the society.
