We are all human. We deserve equal no matter what background, sex

or religion. Differences make us unique, but no matter how different

we are, we're all human in the end.

Racism, the action when one person or group from one race discriminates against another person or group because of their race, differences or beliefs (e.g. religion) As the anonymous person above says we are all human with different backgrounds and qualities which should not lead to discrimination. As singer, Gavin Rossdale says, "There is nothing to justify racism." It is wrong and unacceptable and can hurt people mentally and physically.

Although racism is unacceptable, "Hatred and cruelty based on differences- different skin colors, different religions, or different political beliefs -are nothing new." The Bible is filled with conflicts between different groups. In Ancient Rome, despised Christians were fed to lions for public entertainment and "by the fourth century, Jews were blamed for Christ's death as well as for any other crimes that could be pinned on them" . The Ku Klux Klan (a secret club) has been "stalking, intimidating, hanging, and hurting blacks and other minoritie

s" since 1866. Some were killed because they were Christians or blamed because they were Jewish or hurt because of their color. What is the logic in this? There is none.
