Racism has been a global issue. It is a belief that another
person is less human because of skin color, language, customs, place of birth or
any other factor that reveals the basic nature of that person. This is characterized
the abilities that can be attributed to people simply on his traits and that
some racial groups are superior to others. Racism was at the heart of North
America. The black Americans and their descendants were seen as lesser human
beings while the Whites people are champion of freedom with human rights.
Black is being associated as bad, dark, evil, dull, mourning,
the end, secrets, magic, pain while white shows goodness, purity, cleanness,
holiness, peace and innocence. Others think that white appears good and black
appears bad. But for me, it does not mean that black is negative and white is
positive. In school, I observe that one cause of bullying and name-calling is
racism. They compare the black people and the white people wherein the black
people are being teased and made fun with. Why do they discriminate the blacks?
Black people are also beautiful and special in their own way. Skin color is not
the basis of things. Treating a person badly won’t get you anywhere.
For me, white symbolizes purity and angels and black
symbolizes darkness and demons. People say that white is honest, shows
cleanliness and symbolizes all goodness in the Earth while black shows evilness
and bad things in this planet. But, it does not mean when someone’s black he’s
bad or something we don’t just depend on what we physically see but what’s
inside their hearts. All of us our equal, that’s how God created us. We may
have unique talents and appearances but in God’s eyes we are one. My point is
we should stop racism. We don’t need to organize causes or big things; we can
start on our own and be a role model to others.
White and Black have the biggest visual contrast which can be
associated with other opposite concepts such as day and night or good and evil.
As the years passed by racism is gradually eliminating. I firmly believe that every
individual is born with inherent worth dignity no matter what race you came
from. We should respect each and everyone because God created us in his image
and likeness.
