Race and Bigotry

Race and Bigotry

Race is made up of many different things one is country of origin, the second is skin color, whether it be Caucasian or black. When it comes to blacks there are many different shades of this skin color, we have the dark skin, the mocha or brown skinned and high yellow. Racism is discriminating against a person because of their skin color or country of origin. America is the prime example of what we can call a melting pot. Imagine a country where there are multiple ethnic people mixed up together.
Because of this mixing of races and religions there will of course be a tremendous amount of turmoil, one race will always thought of their race as being the superior race and with the aid of a crowd of people who are fed this message they will start to abuse the other races. In America we have such groups as the Klu Klux Klan, which are a bunch of whites mostly southerners that banned together to kill blacks in the united states through violence and propaganda. With the aid of likeminded people they were cheering them on and others that did not share in that frame of thought but stood by and did not to prevent these acts of violence due to them not trying to look and called a race trader, even if they were to make any reports to the police or sheriff they would often than not be threatened because majority of the time the law enforcement were often part of the Klan. The second hate group share in the same beliefs as the Nazis, the go under different names such as skinheads, these groups unlike the KKK, not only target blacks they also target homosexuals, Jews and any other non-Caucasians, they are not as connected or organized as the KKK, they are made up of mainly young males from broken homes that are looking for somewhere to belong and these hate groups often than not provide these impressionable young adolescents a false sense of family. Racism is the worst form of prejudice around the world and no matter how much progress we’ve made over the years we still have a very long way to go.
