Racism Case

The Start of slavery was fueled by the bible and other religions that classified Africans being unalterably alien and inferior. These rules were set in place around the 16th century, and nothing really seemed to challenge the laws until ideas like "Social Darwinism" came out. It was never specifically stated that all black people are to be slaves, and as time went on, the laws and beliefs became more specific stating blacks must not marry whites and the two cultures should stay apart and secluded from each other. But the racism wasn't just about Africans, Nationalism in Germany encouraged the growth of culture coded racism in the late 1870s. Their laws made explicit that to be a Jewish member in the German society meant you had to adhere to religious beliefs and cultural practices. Racism took Hitler to a whole new level causing the extermination of an entire ethnic group, just because of his racist upbringing.

Racism is something we live with and deal with everyday. It's a delicate subject that is tough to fix. In reality we are all very similar, but there are many different religions and beliefs that separate us. Drastic measures never seem to satisfy everyone. Banning racism is almost racist in its own way because it forces everyone to have the same beliefs and cultures. If the issue of racism is left alone, everyone naturally seems to go back to their individual beliefs and neighborhoods, and they miss out on the other cultures happening around them. Today there are many famous and important people in every race. Tom Cruise and Walt Disney are German, Barack Obama and Denzel Washington are Black, Derek Jeter and Elvis Presley are Irish, Jessica Alba and Carlos Santana are Mexican, the list goes on and on. Society has moved a long way from where it was, and it's great to live in a place now where many races are tolerated, and in the end we all sort of come together as humans and work for the greater good.
