426The Power of Racism In today's modern American culture racism has been the key factor in depression peer pressure and lack of confidence which causes people to spread apart from each other To a certain point Americans have overcome this factor in certain states but not all Every day we hear from the media about the cruelty and crime that take place in different states A lot of this racism starts within ourselves Racism can be defined as treating a person differently because of the color of their skin The color of the skin has caused many problems in the United States many people have been killed and many innocents have lost their lives as well throughout history In this modern world where we speak of equality and social justice people are always judged by their color in some countries and by their caste in some others In US blacks are not treated as equal to whites At times just because you are black horrible things may happen to you For example blacks are put in a situation where people think they steal kill shoot and cause problems The problem exists not only between black and white Some people are racist about Asians also They call them smart and make fun of them They also tease them by calling them a nerd
Having people call you a nerd can cause to perform badly in academics Some parents focus on what they want their children to be and they often forget to see the likes and interests of their children High expectations from your parents can lead one to have a mental break down because how much ever you do is never going to satisfy your parents Racism is something that should be wiped out of the Universe The world has seen many types of racism and most of them have been eradicated from the world or is on the verge of being eradicated This shows the change in the mentality of the world that we live in today The world we live in today is increasing to recognize that each and every single person is equal and have the same rights no matter if you are white black Asian etc All are equal and have exactly the same rights and freedom as everyone else and society has already proven this in today s American culture And yet some of us are not ready to accept it It s time to wake up from the past and start living in the present era
