Racism in the United States of America

Pure Writing
The word racism today in this complex society means a lot of things. Or, maybe it can bring back so many bad memories. I myself have been a victim of racism in the school place growing up, and in the work place. I was only seven years old when I found out that I was different from the other kids at school. I was called many different names, and after asking my parents what the names meant, "I was suddenly heart broken." And, from that time I have always wanted Racism In The United States of America to stop, once and for all. I have also experienced racism at work, to the point where I was fired without no cause, or explanation. Me being very broke, and not having knowledge of my rights at the time, "I eventually did not do nothing about it."

The reason I am writing this article is to try to reunite all people in the U.S. very equally, so we can all get along. I am not targeting one group, or all the groups in this society. I am only trying to tell people to, "quit hating one another and just get along."

Profiling is another word that I really hate. Especially when police, the rich, different races do this all the time. Just, because you are different does not give people the right to judge you. Just, because your race is the majority in U.S. prisons, does not mean you are a criminal too.

The reason many minorities are not in politics, law enforcement, lawyers, doctors, or within the rich is, because growing up poor is very hard to explain. But, I will break it down to you, and give you a good explanation why. When you are a minority, and you grow up poor, all you can think about is money, and the only way to get it is by doing hard manual labor. All of these hard labor thoughts come from our parents, because that's all they know. But, we need to educate the children of the future to strive for excellence in education.

This is just one of my short articles on Racism In The United States of America, but I have others to come after this one. And, you will start to understand why I think we need to start treating each other like brothers, and sisters.

    hi Kevin wut state u from? but anyways you may also want to include that lack of education leads to racism, because being ignorant can cause people not to know the facts of racism, as James Madison said if we could get educated in Geography, the solar system, and the arts, we could overcome prejudice. And, if you think about it, it's totally true, if people would study and get educated they would want to explore different cultures and have the love for history like James Madison said. My name is very confidential lol, but cite me as Mr.R.R.(associatedcontent2007) and thanks for reading and good luck on that essay, and study hard and stay in school. peace. oh keep real

    I am very againt racism. And it irritates me to no end, when someone BLAMES you and whatever your race for something because someone from the race which you are, acted out. That is labeling. Not every Iranian is a terrorist, not every black person was and is a slave, and we all need to grow up and move on, live and let live!

    Just a style comment: the quotation marks in your article are unnecessary, and should be removed.

    I have trouble understanding racism and bigotry. But it seems that cruelty and hatred towards other humans is not limited to ehtnicity. People get bent out of shape if others listen to a different kind of music, eat differnt foods, like different activities, practice a different form or worship or do not worship at all, like a different style of clothing, do not fit a certain standard of beauty or is anyway different then they think we should be. That makes no sense to me.
