Abolish Racism

There exists in our community a monster, a monster as old as mankind itself. This monster is known by many names; some call it racism, others discrimination but the only thing certain about this monstrosity is that it can be overcome if we all unite to fight against it. Racism is “a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race” (Merriam Webster). Racism has multiple causes ranging from living in a secluded community, to the basic instincts of mankind which likes exemplify the differences found in others not like themselves. Racism can destroy the foundations on which a community is laid upon and can intrude upon the peace and sanction of many of its members. By informing members of the community on the reasons why racism continues to persist, encouraging acceptance and providing further education on how to relieve racial tensions, we can resolve the issue of racism once and for all.

Racism is far more complex than people often acknowledge, more complex than reverse racism claims to be. Racism is a system created to benefit from the oppression of people of color. Reverse racism is a theory created to claim that the majority race is as oppressed as the marginalized. Although racism and reverse racism seem linked together, they are different because while racism is oppression benefiting those with privilege and power, “reverse racism,” is more of a racist rhetoric.

Every day an extensive amount of people have to face hatred and bullying. Huge conflicts occur and lives are lost. The issue that plays a significant part in all of this is racism. It affects individuals and communities in every corner of the world.

One of the biggest issues in the United States that I would change would be

Racism in America these days is too common, and is also the cause of the “Black Lives Matter” riots and arguments. My idea to get rid of racism in America is to eliminate race altogether, without “race” then racism wouldn’t be a problem at all, that's why my idea is the best..

In modern day America, racism is a prevalent issue that is often brushed to the side as an issue of the past. As a citizen in America we are under the assumption that, in accordance with the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and by Biblical standards, everyone is equal- therefore prejudice based on race is wrong. In order to establish how wrong racism is people should be educated about the reasons why and how to prevent it. The best way to do this is to teach about it in school curriculums. The quandary in this paper is that racism is not taught in schools to the adults and the youth today- the only ones that have a hope of making a real difference. While Racism is by no means new to society it is a covered matter up where people are often left ignorant of an issue that impacts thousands of Americans on a daily basis. Despite historical significance, racism is often glossed over in history classes even though it has a high influential impact on society. More often than not school history classes speed through from slavery, the Civil War, Jim Crow, and the Civil Rights Movement as a way to honor Black History Month; while important cases involving racism, like Brown vs. Board, Brown II, the case of Emmett Till, and the Clark experiment are often times left out because of the negative outlook it has on American society.

The only way that racism will ever be stopped is if everyone realizes how cruel and mean it is, and can learn to accept anyone and everyone no matter their color, or what you might guess they are like just because of something that small. Also one of the best ways is to forgive each other for treating people so horribly, and making assumptions about their life and their person to forgive each other for past things that have happened

What is the worst possible thing that one human being can do to another? Take a moment and think about that before reading further. Jesus the Christ said that beyond loving God, the most important commandment was to love one 's neighbor wholeheartedly (Matthew 22:36-40). Other than hating God, the logical consequent of the previous statement affirms that the worst sin must be to hate one 's fellow man. Yet, is this not exactly what racism is; to hate another person for his skin color, something that is beyond his control? Despite what some people say, racism is neither condoned by the Bible (Romans 10:12) nor started by European conquerors. Where, then, did it come from? Sociologically speaking, every belief has an origin somewhere. Below is an exploration of where racism originated, what effects it has had on the world, and how it has begun to end.

The final major aspect of racism is health. Health affects more blacks than whites concerning this issue. An article from Counterpuch.org claims, When African Americans are interviewed most revel high anxiety levels caused by ill treatment (Golash-Boza). An ample amount of blacks feel conscientious of themselves and their surroundings because of hefty levels of stress due to the pressures of trying to blend in. Counterpunch also adds, “Racism is especially detrimental to people of color, but has negative repercussions for everyone insofar as it is a hindrance to human development” (Golash-Boza). Even though blacks tend to carry more of the weight on this topic, discrimination affects everyone. A section from the Humanrights.org websites adds,

I would change racial, gender and religion inequality, if there was none the world would be a better place because no one would have to worry about being criticized about their race or religion. Also I would make it so people had different opinions because everyone should be able to make up their own mind but I would make it so they would debate not fight. The difference between the two is that a debate is a friendly argument but a fight is being angry and trying to prove a

One important step to reducing the racism in America is to include curriculum in all education programs that supports equality in the minds of the youth. Young children see and learn from the adults and teachers in their lives, so when a parent, teacher, or other significant other displays racist behavior, the child is likely to believe that other races are not as equal to his or her own race.

I believe that although All lives matter, there is still racism in the U.S, and people should be treated the same regardless of ethnicity. All lives matter for the reason that many people are killing other people for the fact of their ethnicity. People are rioting and getting each other killed because they are choosing an idea that puts people in harm. I know that people are being killed by cops, mostly African Americans and Hispanics. They don’t understand that if they were in the cops position how hard that decision is.

A truly equitable society is where everything is just, right, reasonable, fair - you name it. Such thing is ideal but unfortunately, it will remain an idea. We will never be finished with inequality; that’s just how humanity, or rather, the world works. Systemic racism is one of the many reasons why we can’t achieve an equitable society. This type of racism is like air, it’s there but you can’t see it which makes it almost impossible to prove that it exists. After all, it’s difficult to find evidence on something you can’t even see. According to the article, “What is Systemic Racism?”, it states that “if you just apply for a job with a white sounding name, you’re 50% more likely to get a callback than with a black sounding name.” Sure, this

The best way to get rid of racism is to teach students in school more about racism. The best way to get rid of racism is to be taught in school so they would be more prepared in life if they were educated.

The idea of the play pertains to the racism of the past and present. In the past, racism was very outspoken. In this day, racism still existed. Some of the issue, that we face in today society, are police shooting African Americans and the racist comment posts on Facebook about lynching African Americans. I feel like the world will never be rid of racism. I mean racism isn’t as bad as it was in the past. I feel that we have it good compared to the past. I worried to walk the street that I will face someone who will discriminate against me because of my skin
