Racism

Racism is defined as discrimination based on skin color, origin. Racism is purely made up by human. We are one entity, and our differences vary trivially.
We fear what we do not understand, and different skin color is a sign of unknown. In human history, the Westerners have enslaved all the people around the world: Asian, Africans, Indigenous people, etc. Everything started there, and the enslaved people are seen as lower class, some see them as animals. Discrimination of black people is one of the most notorious racism. They were treated as lower class than white people back in the 1800's. Black people were "shipped" from Africa to the US to work in cotton plantations. They were treated terribly unequal. They had no human rights, low working conditions, and terrible accommodation.

Even after the Civil War, which intended to free all slaves, black people were still discriminated by the white's society. The KKK, or Ku Klux Klan, was a cult that was formed by Confederate veterans. They were a movement that was against black people, and wanted to purify the US's society.

Hitler's Holocaust was because he was racist against Jewish people. He saw them as inferior and should be eliminated from the gene pool. There were many concentration camps, and the casualty was 6 million people.

Even now, racism still exists in our society. Something that is fallacious and made up by human should be abolished. It creates inequality, discrimination, violence, etc. We are the same, and we should unite to create a better world for all eternity. Unite and stop racism!
