Rid Of Racism

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.. Most citizens make racist jokes without even knowing it, and even when they do realize it, they don’t make any effort to make up for it. Without “races” these jokes wouldn’t be funny because they wouldn’t even exist. The

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

which I have been concealing conflicting ideas and debating ideas inside. One topics happened to be the topic of racism. Its origin, why it still breathes, can this beast ever be vanquished? I been wondering this for some time and I have seen radicals from both sides saying that it the “whites” fault and others saying it’s the “blacks and minorities” fault for the remaining existence for racism. I have come to the conclusion that both sides are inherently incorrect, we cannot just point fingers at each

Racism has always been a huge conflict in our world, people classify themselves as a certain race because of skin color and their culture. From Martin Luther King, Jr. speech “I Have A Dream” he gives multiple theories that could be possible if racism wasn’t happening. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” (King 13.) There’s nothing wrong with people being different

If the government decides to get rid of the Confederate flag, what do you think the people who are all for it would do? There would be an uprising! With people all for it and people who have no idea what they’re doing and just following the crowd. If we take the flag away, you are going to offend more people who had family or relatives that served in the war and take it as a sign of heritage and history than we are offending now. Therefore getting rid of the flag would only take us backwards

Have you ever wondered how some people enact change? Mother Jones protested for child labor laws. Melba integrated a white high school in order to get rid of racism. Nelson Mandela joined South Africa’s congress to help racism. They all persevered to enact change, but they took different approaches for their problems. Mother Jones made an impact on child labor because she persevered to protect children. They way down to the White House just to protect kids. According to Josephson in Mother Jones:

A man named Lester Maddox owned a restaurant in Atlanta that discriminated against people of a different race than white. Atlanta, Georgia was a city that had many different views on the subject of racism. From the 1960s events, we can learn from our mistakes. Racism in Atlanta in the 1960s was very common. Atlanta was Martin Luther King Jr.’s hometown. It was a typical southern city. The schools were segregated. People of color were only allowed to use colored restrooms. They were only allowed

In the 60’s throughout the 70’s, many people of different color were facing racism do to the fact that the Americans at the time, believe in the American Dream. A Chicana that goes by the name Gloria Anzaldúa, wrote a short essay called “How to Tame a Wild Tongue”.

Racism has been a problem that has traced back since basically the beginning of time. It is a very sensitive subject that is a national dilemma and no one can seem to come together on it in agreement. Many arguments have ensued, numerous lives have been lost, and families torn apart. Racism is something that will always be a serious world-wide issue.
