Racism needs to go!!
If the constitution says that all men are created equal, why are people still suffering and being disrespected for their race? No one wants to be treated like they don't belong because of their skin color. Even kids get pushed and bullied because of their skin color in school. And adults are being disrespected. Why do people in America or in any country has to go through this. We are all humans and we deserve the respect and kindness we need.
Racism is "the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races". Racism is a global issue that can happen to anyone. This is an issue because people are getting mistreated by people who think their race is better then someone else's. Racism includes equality, en example is when Rosa Parks had to move out her seat because of her race. Many people die for their race. It's important that we address this issue so that we help others such as stick up for them when someone is being racist. Doing something little such as that can do so much for the other person.
White Europeans took people as slaves. Slaves usually did outdoor chores in all types weather. They worked long hours with barely any breaks. White Europeans thought that they were superior to African Americans. Africans Americans such as Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman and more black people who fought to get their have their equality and their rights. African Americans finally got their rights back with the help of Martin Luther King Jr. But just because we African Americans fought and died for out rights and equality, there are still racism and negativity towards black people. Not all people feel this way about about African Americans, but there are still lots of people that do. This is a big issue because no just black people, but other races such as Muslim and Mexican people are getting disrespected because of their race and the color of their skin and it is not fair.
Therefore, racism is a ongoing issue around the world that needs to be taken care of. How would you like it if someone called you bad names. We need to be careful with our words so that it doesn't hurt other people.
