Racial discrimination has been in existent for a long time in society despite the efforts of
the federal sector and the legislation. Racism is evident in almost every sector—even the law
enforcers and critical societal units such as the health care sector. As illuminated in the Frontline
podcast, the issue of racial discrimination and biased policing mimics the surfacing of the Coi-19
pandemic in multiple ways—including the highly effected ethnic groups in American society
(FRONTLINE, 2016). The exhibition of racial discrimination and its implications on the people
of color is characteristic of the existing biases amongst the leadership. Many leaders who ought
to advocate and encompass the eradication of these problems are held hostages of racial biases
that have a history of hindering change. This week’s reading characterizes continued
discriminations as a result of individual biases, employer power, and the influence of racial
biases amongst leaders in government and private sectors (Stombler & Jungels, 2016).
As illustrated in the Ali.org podcast and race and policing, some police department
leaders think that racially-biased policing is nonexistent. It is due to such notions that Sherrilyn
Ifill stated that there is a need to believe that biased policing is real—not until we see it
(American Law Institute, n.d.). Likewise, discriminations and segregations in workplaces have
been associated with the executive’s stance and viewing lenses on the matter. In the npr.org
podcast, racial unrest and the implications of the biased law enforcement have been distilled and
exemplified with various disproportionate policing actions to sensitize the police administrations
are biased on class and race (NPR.org, 2020). This illustrates the need for a change and
pondering on how to enact measures that will be racial sensitive to facilitate equality.
The healthcare sector has been illuminated as one of the areas affected by racial and class
biases. As described by Cobb, the disproportionalities evident in the interactions of the police
and the people of color is an illumination of how various sectors in the United State are inflicted
by racism. He related the death of Floyd with the massive deaths of the Blacks due to the
unequal healthcare opportunities. In general, it is inferable that the provision of healthcare
services in society is affected by racial biases. The effects of Covid-19 on the colored community
illuminates the classy and racism delivery of healthcare facilities in the nation. This clarified the
social healthcare perspective which seeks to examine the unequal availability of health services
amongst the members of the society.
In summary, the law enforcement departments and the health sector are not the only areas
afflicted with racism. Moreover, much sociological activism and advocacy on social balance are
required. According to Elba L. Saavedra, social change in healthcare and other sectors can be
instigated from within the citizens, leaders, and the nation at large (Stombler & Jungels, 2016). It
is due to the lack of corporation between the individuals that the implications of racism continue
to haunt the nation. It is not until we acknowledge the power imbalance, racially-biased delivery
of national services that the nation will be able to enforce equality. This starts with the top
leaders and the building of partnerships and collaborations with social activist movements to
enhance social reforms.
