One of the many pressing issues of our modern era is racism. This problem surprises very few due to recent and historic racial tensions. Racism goes back hundreds of years in places like America towards blacks, and in Europe towards Muslims and Jews. Unfortunately, even to this day, racism remains very present. Not even a year ago, race riots took place in Ferguson, Missouri. Even in my own life I see racism every day. I have black friends and I occasionally see them bullied due to their skin color. God tells us clearly in John 7:24 that “Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” God calls us not to judge others by their race or appearance but by the contents of their hearts and minds. Racism has been a substantial problem in the past, in our modern society and even in my personal life.
Racism left a major mark on our history. Two examples of this happened in America and Europe. In America, due to slavery, many black people came to America from Africa. After the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, all of these people joined American as citizens, no longer as property. This inflamed many feuds between races and fueled segregation. …show more content…
Examples include the race riots in Ferguson, Missouri and the racism in Europe towards Muslims. The Ferguson riots began a day after a white police officer named Darren Wilson shot a black citizen named Michael Brown. Unrest and riots continued for 2 weeks and 2 days after his death because people thought the officer shot him unjustly. Yet another example of racism in our modern society takes place in Europe between Europeans and Muslims. Many Muslims have moved to Europe in recent years as refugees, and this has made the Europeans uneasy. So far, little violence has taken place, but the tensions have escalated. Obviously, racism remains very prominent in the world
