Racism

Racism

 What defined people? Their race or skin color? I think no matter what people are black or white, people we human and we live together in the world (planer earth), have the same body structures, breath with the in the same air and rowing up normally, so there are no ways that you can judge someone base on their race or skin colors.

  Racism is the belief that characteristics and abilities can be distributed to people simply on the basis of their race and that some racial groups are superior to others. Racism and discrimination have been used as powerful weapons encouraging or hatred of others in times of conflict and war, and even during economic downturns. ( according to globalissues.org).

  Where does this belief came from? Well, it called Xenophobia is one natural factor. People are afraid of who are different from them (different skin, hair, and actions).
  Another factor is the history of colonization. The first time when European came to Africa, they tried to steal everything materials, people and land. That is darkest time for Africa and it's called Scramble for Africa. European have changed Africa into their colonized, black slaves was sole for other countries. But that time was gone, Africa have gained their freedom, but the idea of colonizing is still exists in the modern world as an excuse for white people to classify themselves as highest species.

  Just for few month ago, there are stereotypes about relationship between police and African-American, people especially African-American really got angry about this, they doing protest against government and if you usually read newspaper you will know this story it's called "2014 Ferguson Unrest" is all about conflict when police shooting a young African-American Micheal Brown. And here is interesting that Brown was a suspects for robbery committed before he got shot. People think that the action of police officer was too much and it young boy are not worth to got shot. Now police is facing heavy criticized from people and they are making the way out of it.
