Make love, not war! Say no to Racism!

Racism
Racism is the beliefs that appearances and abilities can be judged people by basis of their races and even think some races are better than others.Racism and separation have been used as powerful weapons to encourage fear or hatred to the others, This may be conflict to the society or to the country or even impact to economic of the country eventually. (Anub Shah,2010)

In my point of view,It is a despicable action to be racist to the others,these actions should have gone since many decades ago.It might be true that sometimes we act toward people in a different way just because we see that they’re black or white,rich or poor,where they’re from.they’re all supposed to be treated in a same way.Some countries in Europe are looking down on black people,treat them as a lower priority than the white ones.This action should be stopped otherwise it may bring to a bigger problem to the country such as a civil war between the black and the white.In my opinion we all have only one race ‘a human race’ no matter who you are,how rich or poor you are.we all have an equal right to do whatever we wish.Being racist to the others doesn’t make you look even better or smarter,On the other hand.it shows that you have a negative thinking by judging people from the outer look.So,that’s why those who are still being racist is such a despicable people in the society.

Racism is a matter of growing concern amongst the nations of the world. Racist believe that characteristics and abilities can be attributed to people based on their race while some might think that their racial groups are superior to others. In times of conflict and war, racism and discrimination have been used as powerful weapons causing fear or hatred of others. For example, racial and ethnic discrimination has become a major issue and embarrassment for United States of America within the International fora. In fact, those who think of themselves as native Americans still disregard African Americans, Asian Americans and Latin Americans. The U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics concluded that an African American male born in 2001 has a 32% chance of going to jail in his lifetime, while a Latino male has a 17% chance, and a white male only has a 6% chance.

Hi all, today will be discuss a popular topic in the world which is racism. In my opinion, racism is people who are discriminate people are in different races. The comment I want to give is I am not supporting racism. Because of the racism, many country are becoming unpeace. Racism can causes a lot of damage such as destroying people self esteem, communities and build division within society.
    In North America, black people did not have equal rights as white people. Including the right to work, schooling and the right to go to certain places. White people is much freedom compare with black people. In the past, black people were discriminated in Canada and United States. The first black person visited Canada in year 1608 was Mathieu de Costa. Started from year 1608, racism are become a big problem. In America, black people were slaves owned by white people. The black people lives under slavery and their lives are degradation and violence. In 1628, Oliver Le Jeune which is the first slaves arrived in Canada. Oliver was in Canada when she is 6 year old. This showed that how slaves were captured and forced into slavery regardless of age.

Here is to discuss about “Racism all over the world”. So, in my opinion I feel that racism is the discriminate of letting a person's race or skin color unfairly become a factor. The comment that I can give is, I’m not supporting racism, as racism makes the people around the world panic, feel unsafety and peace everyday because racism can cause a war happen if serious. Here I found a instance of racism, in South Africa’s Apartheid Era (1948-1994), in 1948 with the apartheid law, racial discrimination was institutionalized in the country. Race law touched every aspect of social life, including a marriage between non-white and white, and allowing for “white” job only.In 1950 the Population Registration Act required that all South Africa must be categories in three group which is white, black and colored. Then, in 1960 they started a plan “Grand Apartheid”, as all blacks has to carry a “pass book” with their fingerprint, photo and personal information to access “non-black areas”. However, in 1993 a new constitution gave black and other racial has the right to vote and also race national election.

In my opinion, racism didn't occur when one are born, but when they are adult, Have you seen a small kid had a hatred or fear of different kind of races, religion person? No. 28th September 2016, again happened a white cops shot down an unarmed black man in United States just because the guy act 'erractically'. It's just one of the case that white cops shot down a black man in United States, maybe the white just feared about the position that the black man standing now in United States, they felt threatened, so they will have the racism in it. ISIS are also a terrorist activity that involved religious racism that caused a lot of death. I once heard a quotation, '' If you got separated by the races, colour, religious, then you will never success and get peace in life''. That is why there are still war and terrorist activity happened in the world i guess. In the mean time, racism will not diminished in a short period of time until the world have completely change their perception towards the different races, religious and colour. Make love, not war people, get rid of racism that had in your mind!
