Discrimination Nation: aka USA

Colors decorate our world, and determine wether something is pleasing to the eye or not, but when color is applied to someone's skin it becomes a larger issue than just what meets the eye. Racial discrimination has been ingrained in people due to their ancestor's preconceived notions about skin color. Generation to generation the idea of ones color of skin determined whom each class of people would be involved with.

Racial descrimination is indeed wrong, but we are of a free country. This includes us being free of speech and thought. It is no ones place to tell someone what to say or feel about a certain race because thats just how they were born and raised. It's hard for one person to stop and think about if what they are thinking or saying is wrong, when they were raised to think the way that they do. Even though some people may think that descrimination is wrong, it is not our place to stop them. If the person from the other race knows that they are a good person and they love themselves for who they are, they should'nt listen to those who are racist against them. Ignoring that person will only make it better and to not pick a fight.

  1. I agree that we all have free speech and free will to do what we want. People also need to think about the way they treat people. If you treat someone bad and put them down, think to yourself would you want someone to do that to you? I think we should all just learn how to think before we speak or act.

  2. I agree that we live in a free country with the right of free speech, but racial discrimination is wrong. Saying that growing up a certain way to think about a specific race that way is a poor excuse. Looking down on different races is not right. Our Constitution also says that we are all created equal. If the roles were reversed, how would you feel if you were part of the race that were always being discriminated against? So be the bigger person, and in order to put a stop to this kind of discrimination you have to take it to be your place to stop them and say that it is wrong. Ignoring this situation will not benefit anyone.
