Why we should put an end to racism. America has had a rough past with racism, sadly it still exist till this day. Everyday people of different races or cultures are still being judged and profiled all around America.

Although racism has been an issue throughout history and it still is today, activists like Martin Luther King Jr and Obama have addressed it. Obama gave a speech on how we are equal and should all be treated as such even though we come from different backgrounds.

Speech- How would you like to be called names or even beat up because of you skin colour, religion, ethnicity, or beliefs?

status. People think of athletes as celebrities, they say they do not go through the same struggles as everyday people. That statement is far from the truth when it pertains to the issue of racism.
