Racism In Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Every race has something unique, special, and different that they bring to this world. Racism is the act of disrespecting these differences and furthering this disrespect by using racial slurs, stereotypes, and other injustices such as discrimination and segregation. Racism has been a long lasting problem present throughout all of history. Last week, we celebrated the birthday of a great man, Martin Luther King Jr., who spoke out against such racial injustices happening in America during the 1950’s and 1960’s. During that time, black people were treated with constant disrespect and were segregated by white people. Now, racism is still active in our nation despite such strong opposition towards it. People experience racism every day hearing racial slurs, being stereotyped, and being excluded because of their race. It is also extremely common in the press with much talk about the racism of cops towards African Americans and Donald Trump, our

Racism is a widely discussed topic, and everyone agrees that it is something that only causes harm. People with racist views can view others from other groups as people who are lesser than them and might use physically actions to show their dislike. In response to that, more and more people are having their own ideas of how to identify and end racism. For example, Kwame Anthony Appiah who brought out the idea of extrinsic racism, the perspective of utilitarianism, and the Kantian ethic are views that show why racism is wrong and how it can be ended.

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.

It angers me so much that other human beings are treated like this every single day. It makes sense to treat others equally with respect when were all born in the same way. What do you gain when you're mistreating others because of that one reason? You get nothing, there's no point in doing that to another human being, there just isn't. It's just something I strongly oppose to since I've had me, and my own mother experience that. Despite me going through racism it was nothing compared to what my mom went through. For most of her whole life, she would always get nasty glares at other people from when she was working. Her own boss made her hourly wage payment significantly lower just because of her “color”. Also, she would get disrespected, and made fun of because she didn't know English, and I had to translate everything to her. To top that all off, at one point it made her want to give up and just lose everything, but thankfully she didn't. To end racism our colors in the world must join as one. When we have won, we’ll no longer suffer. And our world can finally have peace as one. It doesn't cost a penny to show some sort of acceptance, and kindness to everyone every single

Not all children are born into the perfect situation, some children are born into a drug oriented and gang related family. “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.” This a powerful quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. how we can benefit a student’s life. The Giving Children a Mulligan in Life interest group would be a locally funded group in Atlanta which would teach life lessons through the game of golf in a fun and interactive way. “Giving Children a Mulligan in Life” would help with the record high levels of dropouts in this city. Certainly with Atlanta having one of the highest dropout rates in not just Georgia, but in United States at 59.1% with an 8% rise in the last two years reported by the Georgia’s Department of Education (2014) is more than enough of a reason for this group to exist.

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.

Ineffective protesting, the influences of societies and social media are some of the reasons that the nation has neglected finding a solution to end racism. Although many of the problems of racism have been solved overtime, there are still many new ways

To get rid of racism we should treat others how we want to be treated. Be kind to people is an example. Act blind when judging, so judge them by their personality not skin color. Galatians 3:26-28 “So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Stand up for what you think is right. Step in and say something. Do a peaceful protest. Also you can thank nice people. Another way to stop racism is to make a change. You can teach others not to be racist, promote churches, and set an

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.

During the 1950s there were major conflicts that involved blacks and whites. These conflicts consist on how blacks and whites were separated and how black were being discriminated because the color of their skin. African American’s were not allowed to attend schools with whites, use the same bathrooms, eat at the same places and so much more. There were major moments that happened during them times; that made big differences that help the African American culture today.

Firstly, Racism can be reduced or prevented by making some changes in the community. Additionally, “If you hear someone use racial slurs, make a racial joke, or mistreat people because of their race, step in say something.” If someone sees somebody being racist with someone else in the community he/she should stop him/her immediately before something goes wrong. Furthermore, people should sit together and talk about racism and how can they prevent racism from their community or society before it spreads around the community and ruin their society for their entire life. Moreover, there are some organizations, that are trying to stop racism from this world. “Stand Against Racism is a signature campaign of YWCA USA to build community among those who work

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

Humans have come a long way in terms of racism. We want to live in an era where discrimination and racism was a very common thing. The big question I will however pose is, is it not still a big and common thing? Racism a great amount of violence. Romberg the holocaust? The group that wiped out nearly 6 million people? All of this chaos created by one single racist mind. Racism is not always about violence. Racism is discriminating against someone because of either their religion, skin color, or their features. But out of all this hatred, came some inspiration, from Martin Luther King jr., Barack Obama to Collin Kaepernick.

Since the beginning of time, racial inequality has influenced the way society feels and treats one another. In the times of slavery in the United States, white people were in control of almost everything, resulting in the oppression of black people. This dark period in American history has shaped the country to what it is now. With racism being very much alive in present day society, black Americans are still fighting for equality throughout the country. Although speaking out against racial discrimination is the humane thing to do, many people in present day society have chosen to stay silent and not take action. It is important to understand that whenever an individual ignores or disregards an issue like racism, they are still

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
