Put on Happy Face

In the article "Put on Happy Face" by Benjamin DeMott, his whole argument was about how a handful of whites would argue that racism doesn't exist anymore. They tend to have this belief that all the racism issues have been resolved and that people are now living in this somewhatof a perfect world. According to Benjamin DeMott, this is untrue. You see a handful of pictures, such as in magazines and on movies, where blacks and whites are depicted to be the bestest friends. Where one goes, the other goes, what one does, the other does and if one is rejected or put down then the other is there to pick him or her back up and stick right by his or her no matter what. This is fake. The world is no where as close as to where these pictures and films make it seem like. Just as DeMott stated, this is a way of trying to hide the idea that racism is still a major problem today.
Because of what blacks had to go through and because of how harsh they were treated, racism will always be a major factor. Blacks were even treated as if they were human. They were almost treated as if they were the pets and the whites were the brutal owners. Blacks were known to be inferior and basically had no right to be treated as human. Might as well say that all blacks have been scoulded by hot water because of what they had to go through, and the later generations to come having to hear about how their ancesters were treated, this is an everlasting hurt for blacks. It will never disappear from this earth, the facts and the wounds will forever remain.
