Racism is something that
we've all witnessed. Many people believe that race isn’t a biological category,
but an artificial classification of people.
When the words racism is
mention what comes to mind? To most people racism is when one belief that
his/her genetically physical characteristics is better than the characteristics
of another race. But what does not comes mind is racism did and can lead to the
elimination of another race ,division of a nation and the enslavement of
another race , as what took place in history. In this modern time where there
are laws against discrimination of any sort and words like " we are
created equally "are said almost everywhere, one will think racism does
not exist and it is part of history. But racism is still around because the
causes of racism still exist. Therefore we should examine the causes of racism.
Sometimes racism can develop among people of different race because of the lack
of knowledge about the other race culture, belief and history. Since little is
known about the other race their behavior can be misinterpreted.
Nowadays I know lot of people who are afraid
of people with dark skin or don't feel comfortable being around them. I
personally don't understand that, cause we live in a modern world where people
with different skin tones have equal rights, so what's the problem? I don't
understand people who think that human beings with dark skin are thieves, killers
or they are always angry. If we will show them pictures of two people and ask
for example "Who do you think is the killer ?" they will point to the picture of the dark
skin man. Despite the fact that there is no slavery any more, some people still
think that they're better, just because of their skin tone.
In the end I want to say that I'm so happy
that each day there are less and less racists in the world. In 2008 Barack
Obama became the first African- American president of the U.S.A., and it's just
the beginning. But in our country when people see foreigners they stare and I
don't think that is appropriate thing to do.
So people please Stop The Racism!!!!!
