Inevitable racism
Racism has been coherent in American History. Whether it was kidnapping millions of Africans during the transatlantic slave trade or merciless treatment to the ancestors of today’s African Americans who are still living in fear. Racism is just like a virus that has spread to most of the countries in the world and has challenged every developed and developing country to this unbiased behavior among their people. Unlike other viruses, it has weakened our tolerance to other races, religions, creeds, and genders. It might be possible to fight against the most deadly diseases but the minorities cannot survive in a “Survival of the fittest” themed world in which the majority of race or religion are living in a country will be the most privileged.
It has not only caused intolerance among different races, ethnicities, religions, creeds, and gender but has proved that no person living on Earth can solve this complicated issue. Fiery speeches and one-on-one debates have led us to no consensus for Racism. We could do the impossible by landing on the moon in three days or by being one of the richest countries in the world in the economy, but we still couldn’t solve the problem of Racism in our country which has existed for more than two centuries and is still present. “If there is no way of killing racism, then what can we do?” From my perspective, racism has continually increased through ignorance against the minorities. Families, societies, and the internet should discuss Racism. If we train ourselves by discussing our fears or thoughts about different races, then we could elude racism.
Or maybe, when you see an authority abusing their power on minorities, then raise your voice on the officials to make them aware of how infelicitously they are using their power and privilege against someone. You can do BlackLivesMatter(BLM) protests but that is not going to extinguish the flames of racism in our country. By discussing this issue with your family or whomever you are close with, then we can all decline racism and will lead to peace and prosperity.
