“I do believe that part of us ending racism is us seeing each others humanity and learning to love each other even if we look different or worship different or live differently.”-John Legend. Racism, prejudice and anti-Semitism can have such a strong and hurtful thing that we as a nation need to stop. We all need to help as individuals, as groups, and as a nation. You need to not follow others and have your own thought on things. We can work together to raise awareness on-line, and raise awareness on the streets. This is our job.We must stop it together. We can not do it without everyone's help.
We can fight racism and discrimination, too. Not with violence, but with love, just like Martin Luther King Jr. We can raise awareness about discrimination, and stand up to racists D11. If everyone stood up to racists who act upon their beliefs, and explain why what they’re doing is wrong, and if they listen, that would almost take care of the problem all on its own C3. The act would snowball; getting bigger and bigger, and might eventually stop racism with everyone working together in harmony
The question remains even though racism continue to a an impact on other people’s lives what,what can we do about it? Well, no one person can do it all or do it alone but we can all help and work collectively to end
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.
Making a difference between races is something that could have been influenced when growing up. Everyone needs to be treated the same regardless of what race they belong to. "Racial profiling is unjustified with general problems with profiling, and those specific to racial profiling itself is not clear that it is always unjustified, because it might reduce serious threats to people's lives, liberties, and property" (Lever, 2007). What people believe is right to do is unfair and cruel to others. The way of thinking should be that everyone should be treated equal no matter what race people are. Everyone deserves respect and to have no differences between someone else.
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.

There are many ways we can try to reduce or prevent racism in our society, but it will involve dedication from many people. Maybe the most important step in preventing racism is educating our youth and teaching them the dangers at an early age. Law enforcement intervention could prove to be an essential way in reducing racism because it is essential for people to know that it is against the law to act upon racist beliefs. Making changes in your community is a way to get everyone involved in the plan to reduce racism in the upcoming years. There are many ways our community could contribute to this cause, for example, organizing cultural events or creating organizations could be some simple and effective ways to reduce the amount of racism occurring in our
Racism has been a terrible problem in American society for hundreds of years. Racism issues are not limited to one specific race, but include all races. It is the responsibility of the people of this nation to address racism and learn to accept and embrace each other for our differences, and allow this great nation to become even more united for our sake and the sake of future generations. To eliminate racism it is imperative to know first, where racism started and how it has developed, why it continues to be present in our nation today, and what we must do as a people to overcome this major problem.
The clear message for fighting racism is a plain lesson we first learn in elementary schools and in our own individual families, treat everyone as your own and as your equal. Racism is not an external occurrence it is hate behavior that is taught and widely accepted today. To fight racism, we should look to the person in front of us, behind us, to the right and to left every time as equals and as a
The United States, Virginia, and local Cities, need to establish a law or ruling that all men and women should be treated equally no matter what your skin color is. We all bleed the same blood and we all have different outer appearances. Why can't we get together and become one? And happy. It is not just the blacks who get mistreated it is also the Chinese, Mexicans, and even Philippines. These people are sick in the
A huge problem with racial discrimination, is that even when people speak up, nothing happens. One example is in the memoir, Warriors Don’t Cry by Melba Pattillo Beals. She speaks about this
Although racism is still present, it has evolved. In this day in age racial comments violate civil rights. African Americans have the right to vote among many other rights. Segregation is no longer legal. Education among African Americans and Caucasians is equal. So many obstacles have been overcome giving hope to a race for social justice. “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite” (Nelson
Nowadays, people just talk without listening or when they do listen, they are just listening to what can make sure they win. Every conversation becomes a debate, so if everyone would just be an open listener and see the other person’s point of view. They will know how to educate that person if what that person said is truly wrong. Everyone should/ needs to be an active support, Kivel talks about “what people of color want form white allies is ‘don’t take it personally,’ ‘provide information’ and ‘don’t assume you know what’s best for me’” (Kivel, p. 1). This should be the first thing white people and people of color do because we all must get to know each other. It should not matter what everyone skin color is or what their religion
This issue of racism is popular by name but tends to be sugar coated by the way people see it. In order to truly understand racism you need to take a bite into the topic in order to get a taste of what it is really like. Racism comes in many different forms and can be seen many different ways. But why even care about racism at all? Why does it even matter? One would think that with such a harsh background regarding racism in America it would no longer exist in society today. But sadly that is not the case here, racism continues to show up all over the country sometimes being worse than others but still racism is racism. People should all be considered equal regardless of what they look like, talk like, or even do that makes them who they are.
