Matters
of Race - Elayna
I get depressed when I see with my own eyes the painful and sometimes
fatal results of racism. There are people who say we have made so much
progress since the days of slavery and the Japanese concentration camps.
Have we really made that much progress or did we start so deep in the
hole that it may take much more time and even more set backs util we
can dig our selves out?
The media can sometimes teach us Stereotypes of different races, our
family, teachers and friends can influence our veiws and opinions of
people from backgrounds different then our own. Ultimately each person
decides how they will interact with people of different races and if
they will believe the stereotypes or that one race is better than another.
Racism is like a disease similar to Cancer or Aids. Although there
has been tremendous progress it is still a major problem among Americans
and people all over the world. I similarity to Cancer or Aids racism
may be getting better but it will most likely never go away.
It seems like bridges are being made between the different races but
some one or some event comes along and knocks it down and then we are
left to pick up the pieces and start again. But as long as we make more
bridges then are knocked then our race the entire human race as a whole
may have a fighting chance.
