I know the world is changing and becoming a better place. But why is there still racism going on?
You know people have been fighting for their rights for a very long time.
Like females, they weren’t allowed to vote and didn’t have the same rights as men.
This is not fair since men and women can have the skills and are both human beings. However, today there is still prejudice against women and women are still not treated equally to men.
Black people have had a very rough and excruciating time back in the day.
They were slaves at first and then when slavery was stopped they were still abused by other people because of their colour.
Why does colour matter?
A person who is black can have the same skills and characteristics as a person who is white. I don’t understand why people are so ignorant because at the end of the day we are all equal because we are all human beings.
You might have something in common with someone that does not share the same skin colour as you but at the end of the day you are not your colour.
Colour shouldn’t even be used to hold against you. 0p I understand that racism is gradually going but today there are still some people who have the audacity to be racist after all these people have been fighting and dying to have the same rights as everyone else.
We are all human beings so why does it matter what colour you are, what sex you are and what religion you have?
People should start accepting people who look different from them because everyone is equal no matter what colour you are.
