Good morning to Ms. Shivani and my friends. Today, I would like to have a speech about racial discrimination. Racism is totally wrong; it brings a lot of impact to society and it is so much better if there is no racism in the world. Therefore racial discrimination should be eliminated. Although these days there are not many cases of discrimination but it is still happening. How many of you still believe that racism still exist today?
(Yes) Ya, you are right. It is still exist today. It is occurs in school, workplace, and daily lives.
(No) you are wrong. It still exists today. Let me show you some pic. Actually racism happened in school, workplace and daily lives. Racial discrimination is an unfair treatment on people with the negative attitudes and assumption which based on their cultural background. Racism like any other form of prejudice and oppression is completely wrong. Vilify (vilˌfī), oppress (əˈpres), persecute (ˈpərsəˌkyo͞ot) and terrorize (ˈterəˌrīz) others for their selfish amusement or aggrandizement (əˈgranˌdīzmənt) is socially unacceptable and entirely wrong. Everyone on this planet has the equal and inalienable (inˈālēənəbəl) right to be treated with dignity. There is no people has the right to take over your right. Racism (rāˌsizəm) is a completely incorrect theory. It has been one of the causes of much evil happen in the world. We can’t choose what races we are and there is nothing wrong with the colour of black, brown or yellow. I believe everyone is created equally. Racism destroys our morality. No matter what a person’s culture or religious belief, racism is based on hypocrisy (hiˈpäkrisē). To illustrate (ˈiləˌstrāt) this point, the Christians have a commandment (kəˈmandmənt) issued by Jesus (ˈjēzəs) “love you neighbour as you love yourself.” Most religions have similar concepts governing social morality. Besides, racism damages communities by limiting the contribution of its member and destroys peaceful co-existence and co-operation

    Racism is a very strong word. To many people, it means many different things. The actual definition is when a person or group of people feels superior to another because of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or simply who they are. So pretty much what makes a person human. Every since the Americans first brought over the slaves from Africa, racism has been a problem. Since the 1930s, after the Civil War, racism still exist in North America, and in the most awful ways possible. From there, racism has changed greatly. It is difficult to say whether or not that change has been good or bad, but just the fact that it has changed should be enough. Think about it; before, humans were using whips and nooses, but now, people use guns and poison.…

    I think that institutional racism still exists today. Institutional racism is a form of racism and it refers to institutions giving negative treatments to a group based on their race. Some of these institutions are governmental organizations, schools, banks, and courts. Institutional racism leads to inequality because some groups are seen as inferior to other groups. For example, we see institutional racism in courts when judges impose sentences for crimes.…

    Racism comes in different forms of stereotypes, limitation, and assumptions that affect certain ethnic groups differently than others but all have the same negative effect. This then creates stereotypical power status, giving the illusion of how one racial group is superior compared to others. An example that shows great understanding of the issue is the article, “White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard to Talk to White People About Racism” by Dr. Robin DiAngelo who explains how the topic of racism plays a huge role is social interaction between people of different ethnic groups. The author states, “It became clear over time that white people have extremely low thresholds for enduring any discomfort associated with challenges to our racial worldviews.” (DiAngelo, 36) This displays the power of stereotypes to spread around communities about each ethnic group, resulting in them facing daily obstacles of how to handle racial profiling situations that results in people not being able to protect their racial feelings and human rights, challenge white authority, meritocracy which is addressing the issue of unequal right between racial groups, and white centrality. Overall, racism is just but one of the many factors that contribute to this broken state of…

    Racism is said to be complex and hard to characterize however it is obvious that it is alive and still going on. Racism was said to have ended in the early 1960’s when equity for all was the statement. Are we all equal here in America? What happened to “We the People of the United States”? However even now in 2012 racism is alive and going strong. Most people say let’s not make it about race yet in America everyone is not treated equally. There are so many injustices in America for minorities from racial profiling, to the housing equality, even to the President now that we have and African America president. Just since January of this year there have…

    Racism is a global problem that has existed throughout the history of mankind. Despite the different kinds of measures taken against racism including African-American Civil Rights movement, Anti-Apartheid Movement, Hate Crime Laws, or bans on any racism manifestations, it continues to be a constant concern. For some people, it is a vague concept, because it reveals itself in different forms. For others, it is simply based on unreasonable believes and hate. So racism, after all, became a label that is used for humiliation, based on hatred of the individual or even entire ethnic groups. I will try to address the problem of racism from several points of view taking into account the areas in which racism exists and manifest itself; to prove that…

    It stops innocent people to make progress. For example, in Obama’s speech he explains that there are so many black people who have lost their hope and dream because of discrimination. However those black who did reach their goal had to face racism. Even today my mom gets scared if she sees a black man walking beside her. She thinks every black are bad. I try to explain her that there is good and bad in every culture and country. It’s not like Africans are the only one who’s committing crime in the world. They are also human beings and they have the right to live as a normal person. Therefore, I agree with President Obama that we have to take full responsibility for our own lives by “demanding more from our fathers, and spending more time with our children, and reading to them, and teaching them that while they may face challenges and discrimination; they must always believe that they can write their own destiny” (52). I am hopeful that our country and our future will be better if we work together. We need to come together as a nation and improve our health care, jobs, and…

    When asked if racism still exists in the world a common answer is,“No, how could we be racist when we have a black president!”, but even an extremely well educated man such as Barack Obama the President of the United States sees every form of racism on a day to day basis. Racism today is not a concept that just low class uneducated African American 's struggle with, this is a concept that everyone in the world struggles with. Racism will never be truly abolished from the world because it is a part of humanity that is instilled in us at a very young age, racism towards the “different” and the “other”. Society put a certain stereotype of each race into our minds and even if we don 't act on these thoughts.…

    There are many people today that believe that racism has been terminated. There are a lot of ways to support it too, with affirmative action, having a black president, and even interracial marriages. In reality, however, racism has not only progressed, but it has evolved throughout the time of its life. In “Theories and Constructs of Race”, by Linda Holtzman and Leon Sharpie, the authors use different logical theories and facts to let the reader know that racism is still alive.…

    Even though people think racism is one attitude in and of itself, it can manifest in many different ways. A racist attitude can lead to brutality, prejudices, and profiling. Racism is something that never should have, and never should be tolerated. Pride in one's heritage is a basic human right that everyone deserves. Racial equality is something that today's society needs to be striving for. To accomplish this, humanity needs to more have mutual respect and empathy for each other. Maybe once this happens, there will be a more peaceful world with less darkness and…

    Racist Regime In America

    For example, if a white, teenage boy wears a hoodie with a picture saying “White Lives Matter,” then someone of a different race would be offended. On the contrary, if an African American teenage boy wears a dark hoodie with dark clothes, most souls would assume that he does drugs or is some kind of criminal. These thoughts cause African Americans to become racially offended. The public school system causes outburst in dozens of students and parents. A great deal of schools have bullies, and with bullies, comes anger and weakness. These bullies are using stereotypes against certain races and cause others to feel weak and worthless. Public schools also separate or join together the same races in order to give others new friends; however, whenever the schools join the races together, it causes a lack of diversity, not giving society the chance to merge with other races and infinitely allowing racism to always be a thing. Racism was very heavy in previous history. In her Journal of Psychohistory web article “The Name of the Game is Shame: The Effects of Slavery,” Gilda Graff notes, “Slavery did not end the trauma and shame to which blacks were subjected.” Although history has had a major impact in which the world views other races, the present is still partially at fault for all of the racism that is happening today. Although it is a little over 100 years later, some whites are still very…

    Do you believe racism is still a problem today? Have you ever experienced or witnessed a racist act? Racism is the belief that all members of each race in the world today possess characteristics or abilities that pertain specifically to that race, especially to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races. Although, some people do not have any issues at all with the concept of racism; majority of people living in America deal with racism in their everyday lives. Racism and discrimination have been used as powerful weapons encouraging fear or hatred of others in times of conflict and even during economic downturns. This is very demoralizing because we are all human beings and of course every one of us…

    Racism is difference plus power. All forms of racism suppose that different races cannot coexist equally in one society. For the racist, expulsion and elimination are the only options. Racism is discrimination based on race, it is the belief that one race is superior to others and that differences in race also mean difference in human character and ability. Racism exists when one group excludes or seeks to eliminate another based on differences that are believed to be hereditary and unchangeable. (Ormond McKague 1991)…

    Racism is an ongoing problem in America and in the rest of the world. Sometimes it is overlooked today as only happening many, many years ago but that is not true. Globalissues.com defines racism as “The belief that characteristics and abilities can be attributed to people simply on the basis of their race and that some racial groups are superior to others” (“Racism.”). Racism is when people think that someone with a different skin color or culture is different than them or even inferior to them. This is not the truth and it is not what the Bible says to be true. Racism has caused many cases of violence, discrimination, and many other horrible things just because of skin color. It started a very long time ago in American history but it still just as much of a problem today than it was then.…
