Racism is everywhere, as much as today tries to hide it or say that we resolved it forty-to-fifty years ago. Racism is still all over the place. Racism first showed it teeth in America, when the segregation of blacks and whites came along. The segregation shut down all activities or actions from whites and blacks. It absolutely separated whites and blacks from being close to each other in public and blacks having no rights. Then the movement took place when Rosa Parks wouldn't give up her seat to a white man on a bus. At the time she was tired of the treatment her and fellow African-Americans were getting. She said she was tired and on this fateful day she b

The future, when you hear that word you start to think about advancing our technology and furthering science. You think of exploring new boundaries and seeing new places. A better world, but a worse world is what I see. The technology may improve as we go into the next century, but what about the children of today that are responsible for the future? Right now, we are only hurting ourselves with racism and hate. We have taken many steps in controlling this disease, but like most diseases, they spread. Where there is a problem, there is a solution. The only solution that seems to be found is to stop the hate. Plain and simple. If only that feeling of walking in public and being looked at the wrong way could end. It's not even safe to be a Christian anymore, and that's when you know something's wrong.

History has had their share of hate crimes, dating back to the start of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK), a group of whites that hate and terrorize blacks. They wear all white, ghost looking outfits. And in their earlier years were known to ride on horses and kill blacks for no reason, just hate. The KKK was more of a southern cult, then became known worldwide, and are still located in the southern parts of the country. The KKK committed hate crimes such as burning down of black churches, and putting crosses to fire. Not to mention torturing blacks and creating brutal

deaths such as the death seen last June in Jasper, Texas. A 49 year old black man by the name of James Bryd Jr. was dragged by the back of a pickup truck (Boven). Police got the call of a dead body and the man's torso was found first, right arm second. The brutal death started by two young men picking up Bryd, he hopped in the back of the truck and one of the men became enraged that he picked up a black man. They then drove to a clearing and beat Bryd severely. Then he was chained to the truck and dragged, to his death. The two men who had many white-supremacist tattoos were charged with a capital crime offense (Boven). The Texas born Dennis Rodman paid for the funeral for his stand against racism.

Everybody knows what racism is, but there are so many other factors that tie in with racism. If someone is a racist they are of course, prejudice. Prejudice is when someone doesn't like someone for the way they look. A big problem with racism is many live in racist conditions and don't even see it. It flies right over their heads. Schools, the workplace, our community, our friend's house, even our homes. We hear a racial slur, oh well, it's just a joke. Hardly. If you think racist joke are harmless than you should take a reality check. Racist jokes are just the start of it. Many people think the jokes are funny. Maybe they are, but they still hurt the people the jokes are about. Some of the worst racists are the ones who think that they are not racist, and they really are. They really have to come to grips with reality. Why are they some the worst racists? They are, because they can't comprehend what is happening. They don't real
