Has the U.S. Moved On From Racism?

Source
        I belive the U.S has not moved on from racism.  In the article "Why Do Millennials Not Understand Racism?" the author talked about how racism has changed during years. People often time are incarcerated for minor offenses(ie. vagrancy or homelessness). Very few families discuss about racism. Only 37%  of the families talk openly about race, which make racial discussions uncomfortable. We know that Racism still exists  today because 44% of the African-American families own homes versus 73%  of white families. If the U.S was colorblind than the percentages of people that own houses would be more equal. African -Americans die four years earlier than whites because they have lower income which leads poor healthcare and leaving in bad neighborhoods.
