Racism comes in many ways and it is a very sensitive topic, but Racism exist and it will continue. People no matter what they are all human being created in my opinion by God, but due to the fact that we look different we separate ourselves from other that have different skin colors or different backgrounds for some reason. Racism is world wide issue that continue day by day no matter what. Racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
I felt that Matthew Cooked did really well when explaining the origin and history of racism. He said that racism focused on at first what class you were in, but then eventually that lead to what race somebody was. He believes that many years each race has fought for equal rights, but we divided ourselves into groups which cause racial tension between inter group and the outer group. He also said that it might sound crazy but whites where slaves too, but they where still head of the black slaves and treated better. Whites seemed to be treated more favorably and promised a successful and better life. Matt also claims that 70 percent of black males do not trust the justice system whatsoever. And due to their skin color it is them against everybody.
I really enjoyed this topic and i really take it serious for the simple fact that i am bi racial. I am both black and white and proud of it. I raised to never see somebody for color, but for who the person they are. I really think Matt did a great job of stating all the facts and not being one sided at all.
