RACISM

    Hello readers!! Today, I want to write about racism because I'm against it. I just have to use this medium to campaign against it. Let's join hands to make the world a better place. I hope you do the same.*smiles*
   
Santa came from a very poor background in Brazil. At the age of fourteen, she started fending for herself. She moved from Brazil to Mexico to search for greener pastures. She was working for a Telenovela organization when she met Javier. Javier was a white man while Santa was a black woman(Negroid). Despite their race, they loved each other. They planned to get married after a long period of courtship. Soon afterwards, Santa met with Javier's parents. His parents were never in support of their relationship because Santa was a black woman. His parents said it was forbidden for their son to marry a black woman. Santa felt so disrespected, she couldn't stand such discrimination after all she wasn't responsible for her skin colour. Santa never got married until she died.

    The definition of race depends on where or when it's used. Racism has existed through out human history. It is responsible for racial separation. Racism is the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities or qualities specific to that race so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race(s). It consists of ideologies and practices that seek to justify or cause the unequal distribution of privileges.
     We all know it is quite easier to relate with someone of similar culture, appearance and likeness. Sometimes, we feel threatened by other people's culture, custom and belief. Is that enough reason to discriminate? I bet not. I'm quite sure the main cause of racism is ignorance that's why I'm using this platform to create awareness. Let's learn to love ourselves more so we can love others better. Racial discrimination causes violence, social insecurity and even mental disorder. In a research, it was known that blacks (Africans) suffer from racial discrimination more than any other race. Don't hate anyone because of his/her skin colour or background, it is wrong. Achievements have no colour, don't be a racist.
     We know nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and a conscientious stupidity. Remember, one true nationality is mankind. #Saynotoracism #Anti-racism. Have a lovely day.
