This time, I decided to talk about a thing that I don't understand yet. I mean.. Racism. What is Racism? Why do people do those bad things? Well, I can't find an explanation or a reason to explain acts of racist people. So I tried to go to the beginning to figure it out. Let's see what I found.
We don't need to go back many years to find an example of racism or racial discrimination. I'm talking about Hitler. It was nothing more than pure racism. The idea that exists a master race that has the right to make the others do what they want, was kept in the mind of society for a few years.
But now it is different. In reality, not too much. Racism is still quite common. Most of us know a case of racism present in our life and even knowing that it is wrong, we don't accuse the situation because we are afraid.
At work, at school, in
the streets, everywhere. People of another race are like enemies just
because they are different. Even people of the same race are also
discriminated against. It's so stupid. Nobody is perfect. We are all
humans so we must accept everyone!
In fact, teenagers are not so racist as adults. Who doesn't have a black or any different friend?
So,
judging people by their look, sexual orientation, way of speaking or
dressing, tastes, weight, whatever.. is also a way of discrimination.
Well, with the Internet racism spreads across the digital world. In comments, photos, videos, racism is present too.
The victims of racism suffer and the majority wants to stop living. But, Racism is a crime. We can change it.
Now,
I will give you a stupid example but it makes sense. It's an example of
racism in a animal. Pandas.. I like pandas not because they are cute,
but at the same time, they are anti-racism. They are black, white, and
asian too. And everyone likes them just the way they are. We should do
the same with people and accept differences. Let's stop hating and start
loving.
Another example: As you know, the President of the
United States is black. So.. a black man in a White House! It sounds
stupid. Even that, in America, racism is everywhere. You know that I am a
white girl.. Yes, my skin colour is white.. And of course I'm being a
racist now because I used the word "black" to talk about an individual.
Nowadays, the skin colour is extremely important. But why? On the
inside, we are all the same. And now I'll ask you.. (Paper) What is
that? It's a piece of paper. But, what colour is that? It's white sure..
This is the same colour for you? Of course not.. "Colour", personally I
don't like this word because people don't use it correctly.
One
day, in a video on Youtube, I saw a comment, which left me thinking
seriously. It was made by a black man. Yes, I'm being a racist again,
but the comment said: "God, forgive for not being able to say the word
"black", because you're white, and we are different. I'm an actor, but
the papers I can get are just thugs and bad boys, just because of the
colour of my skin. Think in all the movies you watch now.. How many have
black people with white people? We have no Titanic, Spider Man, Star
Wars, Harry Potter... I think the majority of you couldn't even imagine a
movie of all blacks. It's sad living in this world."
I agree with him. It's really sad.
I agree with him. It's really sad.
Racism... We see it everyday... We use it everyday...
But there is ONLY ONE RACE: and that is the HUMAN RACE.
SAY NO TO RACISM!
