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

Prejudice is human nature. It will never be stopped. The government can control it with specific penalties for hate crimes, but surely can't end it. It seems that people would respect someone's life enough not to take it. Everyone is different; therefore, we have to live with it. We don't have to associate with that certain someone if they are black or white, but we just have to respect them, and where they come from. God put us on this Earth to love one another and to be kind to your brother. To hate someone is just like an insult to God. So remember, next time you're in public, just be kind and generous. That's the start to the answer.

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.

Then there are those who are completely unaware of racism in the world. They walk down the streets, through the stores and working at their job, completely oblivious. They're so blind! Why can't they see what is happening around them? Have they really lived such sheltered lives? Or do they just not want to believe it is happening? If you take someone and put them in the heart of a racist area, they still won't notice the problems. They will see it with their own eyes, but it won't register in their mind. If these people don't open their eyes, they will never see what is happening. What is going to happen to the world if people don't start realizing what is happening? Will we be plunged into a time where racial tension is everywhere? Will we soon start having racial wars? Will racial violence be a normal every day occurrence? I don't know. No one could know. Unless we start taking action and helping people come to grips with the way they are, we can't combat racism.

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
