Citizen by Claudia Rankine
Introduction
In the modern society, racism in our society is one of the persistent evils and most
baneful in preaching for unity. Claudia Rankine in her life has tried to express the atrocities

Rankine states that "because white men can't police their imagination black men are
dying" from my own point of view is true. Rankine in this context wanted to portray the
