Is there truly the existence of "racism" or is it more of separatism?
Personally, I do not believe as much in the existence of concept racism as I do in the existence of the concept separatism. I have seen how people separate themselves based on any possible cause... whether it be skin color, nationality, gender, sexual preference, hair color, career, eye color, taste in clothing, omnivore/vegan/vegetarianism, political party affiliation, age discrimination, religion, favorite tv show, education, favorite toy, taste in music, income, this is what is now the real "racism".
What we all need to think about is how we are alike and what we can all do to make the world a better place. Skip the differences they will only further divide us as a HUMAN race. Work on your own self development and contribute to the betterment of the planet. |
I understand what you are saying and you good points. I just feel that racism in the U.S. (and across the world) is real and until politicians and people at the top address it, things will stay the same.
Whether or not you believe in racism won't prevent it from taking place. Therefore, my stance is that we should continue to engage in racial discussions and see what can be done to improve race relations. Black people are only one group of people who are discriminated against in this country. There are many others who feel the same way. Let's work on finding a solution.
