By pushing colored people outside the higher academia, it actually makes a circle that colored people are not able to get higher education or not be able to earn a place within the higher academia, which makes their children have little access to better resources and education, and thus their children will stay at the lower tile of the society.
What is going on inside the higher academia is actually a shrunk view of the whole society. It is not just academia, but every aspect of society is not giving chances or respect to colored people. This society has a white disease now, which makes other races suffer and even die. Just like one of the African American interviewees said during a street interview on TV: "the white knee that is crushing our necks has always been there to suffocate us."
Question: Is this protesting happening really going to change anything? or is it just going to be another chaos that left us with nothing?
