    Systemic racism (or Institutional racism) is a worldwide problem which is regarded as one of the most controversial and hardest topics to talk about. Sure, there are laws, legislations, and steps that progressive groups have taken that ease up this issue but let us ask ourselves, is it really enough? The discrimination among people of colors is still there despite numerous callouts. However, before we delve in deeper, let’s first define what is systemic racism and how is it affecting America.

But, aside from aesthetics, there are economic reasons for it as well. Here are some reasons why it is important to have your pavers sealed. Protection from dir t Like our tiles, the gaps between the pavers can accumulate dirt especially that it is exposed outside. Mud, moss, and other forms of dirt clog up between these crevices and its surfaces which will most likely ruin your pavers or worse, destroy it. Having it sealed allows the surface to be more difficult for the dirt to cling to, making it easier to be removed.
