What Does It Take To End Racism?

Martin Luther King Jr. was one of many great civil rights activists that have fought for equal rights. Throughout the 1960’s he persevered through many things such as, “On March 7, 1965, a civil rights march, planned from Selma to Alabama's capitol in Montgomery, turned violent as police with nightsticks and tear gas met the demonstrators as they tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge. King was not in the march, however the attack was televised showing horrifying images of marchers being bloodied and severely injured. Seventeen demonstrators were hospitalized leading to the naming the event "Bloody Sunday." Everyone, young or old, gay or straight, women or man, everyone should get equal rights and this man shows why and how we can do it.

Due to his huge contributions to the Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King Jr. is important to the end of segregation in the United States. He used nonviolence as a way to fight for equality for African Americans. In a book he wrote called Strength to Love he said “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Darkness lacks light and more darkness cannot make it less dark, so light is the only thing that can make it less dark. Hate will continue if we do not fight it and the best way to fight it, is with love. If you fight hate with hate things will not be a better place, the world will be filled with hatred and life will be miserable. Fighting with love brings peace. Martin Luther King Jr.

People need to raise their children and teach them that just because someone’s hair color, eye color, skin color, etc. is different it doesn’t make them any different from them. All kids should know that everybody is equal and that nobody is ant better that the next person, no matter the situation. I can only hope and pray that people will realize that everyone is equal and that nobody is better than anyone else for the sake of everyone’s future, but I know that deep down inside racism will forever exist all over the world.

Martin Luther King was a honourable leader during his time he was famous for his speech “ I had a dream’ In this speech he calls for an end to racism in the United States and preaches his vision of a society in which race was not an issue in how people were treated or in how they were allowed to live their lives. Because of this speech the Negros respected him. He said this speech in front of millions who came to listen and for that he is a very brave man.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a peaceful civil rights activist that fought against segregation and racism. To honor his courage and accomplishments I will fight racism.

Because racists think they are superior they believe they deserve special rights and privileges which they correspondingly deny to members of other races. Racism is widespread and has caused major problems. Many people distrust or fear other people who look or act differently. Racism in the United States seems to be directed mainly by the white majority against racial or ethnic groups; such groups include Blacks, American-Indians, Mexican-Indians, etc.

Racism is a bad thing because we are all equal.We need to stop and begin with kindness. God created all of us. Racism continue to exist and racism will continue to divide our country. We need pray for all this racism. Every time i think of racism I think of hate. We are divide but we need to come together as one.We should end this hate today right now. The KKK was founded in 1866. They've done marches and rallies over this time period.

Racism has occurred for many years and in many different societies. Some people choose to remain oblivious to it all while others choose to take a stand either for it or against it. Racism is a big

Racism isn’t hating someone because of their race. Prejudice is not a misconception of who a person is. Racism is being prejudiced because a person believes their race is superior; and, prejudice is a preconceived opinion not based on any prior experience. In other words, racism is when a person has a preconceived opinion about another person because they feel their race is superior. Racism and prejudice are probably two of the most talked about and controversial words 60 years ago and still today. When Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat and Martin L. King marched on Selma they didn’t think we would still be in such a place today; we are in a place where people are not allowed to be themselves without facing judgment. This is the same prejudice and racism members of society face in schools, by students and educators which limits their ability to progress in a world full of competition and rise above what demographics say they are destined to become. As the great Charles Albert Tindley once said, “We Shall Overcome!”

Martin Luther King Jr. was a brilliant man who preached non-violence to his followers during the fight of equality in deeply

Martin Luther King believed in reaching African-American equality in the most peaceful way possible. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that” was once said by king in one of his many speeches. King’s inspiration for his non-violent activism was because of Mahatma Ghandi’s successful teachings. King traveled to India, which deepened his understanding in peaceful activism. Martin Luther King’s speeches were truly inspirational to his listeners. Spreading the word about peace being the only way to win equality was his way of teaching. Successfully, King’s wise words did free the slaves and change African-American history forever.

To sum this up, Martin Luther King, Jr. faced many great obstacles during his life. If it wasn’t for him, there would be a lot of racist people. If this were to happen there would be too much negative attention given to bad students and not enough to my education. Dr.King wasn’t just a hero he was a blessing from God who helped achieve his goal and that’s something we all should want to do. Luckily, we had Dr.King. Put an end to racism. However there is still some racism in some parts of the world, but with Dr.Kings words in our heart, we can destroy and Pray for any and all bigotry there is

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.

     Racism is really another word for ignorance. It's another way of saying that nature should have had only one type of flower or tree. It's another way of looking at the world with your eyes closed to diversity and change. Racism is another word for fear. Fear of the unknown is understandable, of course, and for many of us those of different races and creeds are the great unknown. Most of us are brought up in a particular environment with a particular type of people. For example, let me give you some statistics that I got from the US Census Bureau, on a large scale we have a total of 2,100,562 people in Utah, 1,999,509 of which are white that is 95%. There is only 18,613 total blacks, that is not

My belief on the way to end racism is this, I believe that the best way to end racism is to have every person that's racist, to become friends with someone with the race they don't like.
