Racism In The Usa

Improved Essays
The U.S. currently faces many issues that are critical. Right now one of the most complex problems the U.S. has is racism. Even though racism has history and many people have fought against it, we still haven’t overcome this issue which keeps growing. In the U.S. African Americans and Hispanics are the ones who suffer the most with racisms every day. Recently there has been two events were racism is the reason of this attacks. First the shooting in Charleston, South Carolina where a white man was arrested for the racially motivated shooting deaths of nine black church members. Then the speech of Donald Trump who accused Mexicans to be rapists, thieves, assassins, drug dealers and much more. Also argued that he would construct the tallest wall …show more content…
Racism is an inborn aspect that we evolve during our lives. This means that we are not born hating other people, but we learn through our life. The best way to search for solutions to end racism is by classifying different levels of our society. Individual level, community level, and national level, this way we can work to end racism in the most convenient way. First we have to start by level one which is individual and that one starts at home. Parents should teach their children that we are humans and that we all have the same value. Because it is up to parents to educate their kids from a young age that you can be friends with anyone and no race is better than the other. These children are the future if we build these kids with strong bases and to see everyone the same racism will maybe even extinct. We have to be mindful and practice empathy. Starting by not differentiate each other, it is important to be aware in implications, particularly regarding power and privilege. Always remember is we allowed any type of inequality to thrive in our society racism will never end. We have to fight for an equal and impartial society for …show more content…
These simple solutions will unite and fight for equality. Starting with education in the individual level, we have to learn that everybody deserves and opportunity and not just denied it because of their skin color. Parents need to learn that it is very important for kids to get along for their own educational development. Education is the answer for the individual level, if kids are taught not to discriminate we will have a better tomorrow. On the other hand if parents feel bitterness and malice against color skin people, kids will be taught with hatred against them. By this mean not only the Africans Americans will suffer racism again but other races will suffer it too. And everything that Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King fought for will be meaningless. On the second level with the communities supporting each other and spreading the faith world wide, it gives us hope to reduce the racial discrimination that only provokes violence and misery. Thanks to the diversity in the U.S. it has helped us dissimulate racism among us. Together we will make a difference. However here in the U.S. every community is separated by ethnicities. For instance, Mexicans with Hispanics, Chinese with Asians, White people with white people, and skin color people with African Americans. This is the way U.S. is mostly classified as, we need to break this pattern to end racism. Yes, it is hard to come to a new

President Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery in 1865 to get rid of the racism that existed and ending the cruel behavior against African Americans.

    Unless people don’t change their approach, attitude and mindset towards racism, we never can fully get rid of this huge, cruel issue. All races deserve and should get equal opportunities in their life. It is up to us as a society to recognize and change our mindset. We live now in such a modern, technology time where we always reach for a better access to others in upgrading our lifestyle and devices, but have we ever thought about to upgrade our beliefs and mind? Unfortunately for our own good, this has been forgotten by many and we sadly belong to a world where we judge people by skin color.…

    “How we can make it through the long night of despair to the bright day of hope” is the author’s way of saying, how a change should be made in order to have a better life, a better future, and a better relationship with others.

The author Michael Eric Dyson utilizes statistics, real life examples, word choice, and emotional appeals in order to bring awareness to the reader of the seriousness of racism in the US and how every day that goes by, more and more black lives are taken without any mercy.…

    A way to combat racism would be to purify the perspective Americans have toward Blacks. To do so, instead of thinking Blacks as wild savages, people should compare minorities to fellow admirable figures of the same race such as Cesar Chavez or Martin Luther King Junior. If society is able to alter the definition of what America is and what Blacks are to a positive way, we will not only boost the esteem of Blacks, but also create more economic equality by opening new doors for the all races in…

    We as a society have come a long way since the beginning of racial inequalities, which includes slavery, the Civil War and emancipation, civil rights movements and to a current state of racial and cultural turmoil. The real question is have we really made any progress throughout time to create a better society and equal social system? In today’s society, it is a common occurrence to see those of color being arrested, lacking jobs, living in poor environments, and involved in violent acts which includes recent shootings. Prior to the civil rights movements and Jim Crow laws, any white person could easily discriminate against another person of color. Unfortunately, in our current day and age people have neglected these laws and found ways to…

    Martin Luther King, the social activist who played a key role in the American civil right movement said “Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they cannot communicate; they cannot communicate because they are separated.” Humans tend too separate from each other by their skin color, economy level, and educational level as well. We humans create walls in order to divide the lower class from the middle and high class. Those walls can be ten feet tall or sometimes those walls are just a creation that we make in our minds. Whites, Asian, Latinos, and Blacks are being segregated from each other causing an unwanted imbalance between their social life, and also educational system.…
