Racism have existed as long as we existence. Slaves are a good example. In the Dark Age primitive tribes had slaves. In the Bible is there also racism, Moses people were slaves. They weren’t valued as much as the Egyptians.
In the sixties there were a lot of attentions on racism. The problems in the USA had grown to a disturbing level. Apartheid controlled the country, especially in the south states. White people were numb about blacks. There were great needs for a change. Martin Luther King was one of the lead characters in the fight against racism and apartheid. He became a symbol of that fight and with good reason. He had an incredible strong mind; he fought non-violent against terrorizing and destroying white people. Martin Luther King became world famous with his speech “I have a dream”.
In Europe we have also fought with racism problems. Because of a large group of guest worker immigration in England, there became a lot of racism. Underground gangs killed and ruined lots of the guest workers. When there became enough guest workers, the government tightened the immigration rules. Racism was obviously a large issue at that time.
I think that racism is a terrible issue. People have no rights or approval to harm other people only because of their very appearance. Prejudging and stereotyping is also horrible things. You can’t judge another person, only because of their exterior. You can only judge a person by their interior, their act, behavior and opinion. I’ve also think that people need to have a chance to prove their worth.
