The End of Racism
Racism will never end. It seems that no matter what legislation is passed, it is virtually impossible to stop racism. This is because racism originates from the mind, and no amount of legislation can reform a human brain to the point that racism will cease to exist. The only thing the governments around the world can hope to do is to limit the actions taken by the racism that is rooted inside the brain. This is beneficial because it limits the violent or unequal acts that may occur as an effect of racism. I personally believe that racism will always be present in the world. This is because we may be taught to be racist as a child, or the acts of some may influence our opinion of an entire race. This is especially true in my life as I am muslim, and the muslim people are largely misunderstood due to the actions of a few individuals claiming to be following the "path of Islam." Legislation against racism is largely ignored as well, since most people do understand that racism can not exactly be controlled and influenced. Thus, I believe that racism can not be controlled or changed with legislation.

I do agree with you Sameer, racism never really solved itself after the civil war. We can see that from the issues that have occurred in Ferguson, Missouri that racism is slowly escalating.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Unfortunately, no matter how hard we try, there will always be that one person who will be racist. The one good side to events such as those in Ferguson however, is that it shows the pubic that racism is still a big issue. By raising awareness, we can help reduce the problem of racism.
