racism usually blocks minorities from opportunities. For example, i won't give you that job because i don't like the color of your skin, therefore you don't get the job or the promotion.
During slavery, blacks were not accumulating wealth like whites were. This wealth is passed down from generation to generation opening up opportunities for white children and not black children and many still have that accumulated wealth from past generations. Those parents were able to provide good education to their children, those children got better jobs, better pay and they were able to educated their children and so on.....wealth and opportunity is passed down from generation to generation.
Racism is to a society what cancer is to a person. It creates an unequal field for people and block important contributions they can make to our society.In example: a kid who is very very smart and is black could be an excellent engineer and build bridges in our society but because of racism, his dad was unable to get a promotion and therefore unable to pay for this kid's education. Other example: Same black kid was unable to get the good education or was unable to get into certain school because the admission committee didn't look at his skills but his skin color , therefore this kid was unable to pursue a good education and society lost a potential engineer.
Overall , racism hurt us all.
I hope that helps.
