THIS IS WHAT I WROTE:
Racial inequality is a disparity in opportunity and treatment due to a persons race or color. Similarly, racial stratification refers to the impact that a persons race or ethnicity has in their position in society.
On March 31st, 2020 Breonna Taylor was fatally shot when police conducted a no knock drug raid in her apartment. Taylor was shot five times by officers that went to her house with a search warrant for a drug investigation. Her death has gained world wide attention and is a symbol of the racism Black women experience. Twenty bullet casings were found in and outside of her apartment. I believe if this wouldve been a white male or female this wouldnt have happened. Sadly, many times the consequences of racial inequality are death for the discriminated.
