How To Eradicate Racism Is Wrong

Improved Essays
It should not be this hard. It should be a no-brainer, however many people continue to be so selfish as to suppress their fellow man to maintain their privilege and status. As long as humans have inhabited the earth there have been interpersonal problems because not every personality will mix well together. The problem I wish to eradicate is racism. It slithers through our minds and poisons are thoughts and reason. It deceives us, makes us believe in ridiculous ideas. I always think back to times in history class, when we talk about times of extreme racism, like the Holocaust, slavery and racism in America. it was always mind-boggling to think people actually thought this way on a large scale, everything Hitler did Germany was “legal”, the

    Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”. This quote is saying that one shouldn’t base a person off of the colour of their skin, but should base one off of their actions.

    One of the most talked about topics in the news and throughout the public is, are police officers more hesitant to shoot minorities than they are to shoot white suspects. This is a great question in today’s society because America has the highest firearm to owner ratio in the world which means every police officer must be vigilant when confronting suspects. Also with the recent events, such as riots, looting and protesting, that have taken place due to the fact that police officers have shot and killed multiple African Americans within the last couple of years.

Many will refer to their ancestors and what they did and believe in.

And by everyone having the same skin color nobody can be racist about anyone's race since nobody will know your race. Others ideas will be way too complex and too costly. And I think mine will be the most simple, and the least costly, this making my idea the best way possible to end racism.…

    There is a perception that the American racist mentality is dead. However, this is not the case, seeing how the post- civil rights movement era is subtly reminiscent of the civil rights time period.

The reason that this perception that racism exist, is based on the ignorance society has toward the evolution of racism. Racism directed toward African Americans in the 20th century involved physical torment, which led to the destruction of the mind.…
