Racism: Why Should We Try to Wipe Out Racism?

I see the sad colour of racism not ever so often
But every minute of the day
I see the serious mental and physical damages
That this cancer has done throughout the ages

Look at what we’ve done and look at their state

You give nothing but human sorrow and hate.

Racism

Racism is the irrational belief that a specific race has typical cultural characters endowed due to the genetic factors that make individual races genetically superior to the others and give them the right to exploit the inferior races.

When we openly state the meaning of racism, we can see how unexplainable and unthinkable, such a thought is. But, racism is so rooted in our consciousness and subconsciousness that we have long bowed down to such enrage ideals.

Idea of Race

However, when specific bodily features (colour, the shape of the nose, eye, lips) are permanently clumped together and human beings are classified in terms of these distinct biological clusters these then feature the idea of race. Each and every single human being on this planet is not only seen then to be assigned to separate biologically-determined groups but also as born with traits directly inherited from their biological ancestors.

Each race is then believed to be basically, permanently different from others — differences that are inborn and ineradicable, for one can neither stop to have what one has genetically nor acquire characteristics which one does not already have.

The idea of race is deeply problematic. The only conclusion from available evidence is that the whole of humanity has a common lineage, that there are no races within human beings but only one single human ‘race’. Yet, while scientifically speaking, the race is a fiction, a large number of people believe in the existence of races.

Why Do People Pass Racist Comments?

Many people are unaware of their discriminatory behaviour towards their neighbors or peers due to apparent differences in their race. We have become so used to facing racism that we deem it as normal behaviour and let go of it. Racism is so rooted in our culture that we think it to be the rule.

The need to remove racism has come to highlight after a series of violent activities against people for their race. Racism is the prejudiced belief of people that a particular race is superior to others. The idea has resulted from years of neglect and oppression of some races for their traits and skin colour.

For example, in a number of southern states in America, once declared a felon, a person is disqualified from voting. So, once the criminal justice system tags people of colour as “criminals”, whites have the approval to engage in all the practices of subordination that they had apparently abolished.

The United States now has the highest rate of incarceration in the world, surpassing those in highly repressive regimes such as China and Iran. The figures related to African-Americans are shocking.

Why Should We Try to Wipe Out Racism?

Racism is the hurdle between the modernization of our society. There is no place for such unforgivable conduct in our community. We, as a whole, need to eradicate these narrow-minded thoughts that some people are inferior to others only because of their skin colour is. Racism can only be eradicated by flourishing awareness and correcting people when they make a racist comment. Together, we can fight against racism.

Verdict

We all must bring our

Racism to end.

A message to all, I long to send.

The colors of the world,

All join as one.

So please let us all end.

The Bottom line

My main focus here is coming to hold with what racism is. In brief, and with a slight, only slight distortion. It is this: one can tell each and every important thing about a person, his group, its past, and future, by noting the colour of his skin. We should never judge anyone for the way they look or for the way they speak. All people are equal, and no one can change that fact.

Narrow-minded thoughts like racism should have extinguished with the increase in educated people and the intermixing of various races. Racism makes people feel sorry for being born a certain way, of having a particular skin colour. Racism has no scientific explanation, and racist people are entirely ignorant about the feelings of other human beings.
