One of my favorite quotes of all time “ I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” -Martin Luther King. Racism can be seen as prejudice, discrimination or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior. Racism has been seen continuously in the United States and several of different countries throughout generations. I feel as we the people see one race is greater than another.

Not attempting to bribe people. Money isn’t always the solution to correct the mistake or fix the awful
