Racism will never just disappear. The roots of all American life and culture are based through years of hatred and oppression. But the thing that is more dangerous then lingering racism is how we view ourselves after oppression. If the stereotypes persist, it is like the racism has never faltered. "The Bluest Eye" as well as the song "Thieves of the Night" by Black Star deal with how African Americans view themselves, years after slavery, and how black self hatred keeps them down along with the societal pressures around them. I wanted to help express this through quotes and images.
