Over the past year or so well-known people have drawn a lot
of attention for racial slurs or other racist remarks. These people who have
been white have led to heavy fines and even suspension from games or club
events. Now racism is never a good thing and I am not saying that at all but
when does a normal conversation turn into racism? The N-word is highly
unacceptable and should not be used by anyone not just the white community.
Racism
will not end in this world unless racism is gone from every person in this
world no matter if you are white, black, Asian, Hispanic, or whatever a person
may be. A black person using the N-word should be penalized just as much as if
a white person would say. This would be the way to stop the racism in this
country. I know that in the United States and around the world that racism will
never be “cured” but taking steps to prevent this will help bring change to
society.
The
thing that I do not understand is that it is acceptable in today’s society for
a black male or female to use the N-word freely and not get scrutinized for it.
What is the difference? I do not care if it is a “thing” within the community,
if you don’t want other people to use such a word then wouldn’t you think to
stop using it? It just doesn’t make any sense to me. How is it acceptable for
any person to call a white person a “cracker” and it is funny all of a sudden
but if a white person uses a word then it is completely repulsive? I am not
saying any of this is right because it isn’t but it proves my point.
Now
racism and discrimination has been a problem for a long time but it is only
because we allow it to happen. We all know that it doesn’t matter what skin
color you have because we all have a brain. It is like some racist people are
stuck back in the 1800’s. We are all the same people and it doesn’t matter what
we look like because we all have the same ability to be smart individuals in
this world.
Racism
in this world will never actually end. Some people will still believe that some
people are inferior to other which is a complete lie. It doesn’t matter who you
are or what you do we are all human beings. And just because we have a
different skin tone doesn’t mean that somebody is not a human. We all just need
to take a step back and reflect on the problems that this world faces for
racism. It can be prevented but only if everybody puts in a good foot forward
and actually tries to end it. It can be done all we have to do is work at it
and it can be accomplished.
