RACISM

A pleasant afternoon to all of you.

Imagine living everyday in paranoia knowing that everywhere you go, everything you do is being observed and judged.
Everywhere you go, everywhere you look, there is always somebody different. Many of us focus on differences and not on
similarities of other people. Racial discrimination is everywhere. In general, it is a belief that a particular race or ethnicity
is inferior or superior to others. Racial discrimination involves any act where a person is treated unfairly or vilified because
of their race, color, descent, national or ethnic origin, religion or belief. The first major point I have is that all people are
created equal. In all holy books, it is mentioned that all people are created equal, so who are we to judge? The belief that
everyone is created equally seems to not resist anymore. That’s why I am here before you to make you understand that racial
discrimination is an immoral act.

Racial discrimination is experienced across a spectrum. It may occur in a passive way by excluding people socially or by
being indifferent to their views and experiences. It may take the form of prejudice and stereotyping of different groups in
our community; in name calling, taunting or insults; or in actively and directly excluding or discriminating against people
from services on opportunities. In its most serious manifestation, racial discrimination is demonstrated in behaviors and
activities that embody hate, abuse and violence – particularly experienced by groups who are visibly different as a result of
their cultural or religious dress, their skin color or their physical appearance.

For centuries, the issue of racial discrimination has been haunting millions of people worldwide. Almost everywhere you
turn; you see some form of discrimination. They also must be put into a situation where their skills or abilities might be in
question, either in school, at work or in public places. Being discriminated can change someone’s whole world.

Emotional trauma and mental health effects from discrimination and stereotyping result in the most significant harm to an
individual. There are other damages, such as loss of job or promotional opportunities, loss of pay for days not worked, and
damage to reputation.

They choose those who are seen as weaker or inferior to themselves.

It’s time for us to make a way. We can start in joining organizations and promoting positive relations. But there is a challenge
in this for all of us. We share a common humanity, and we all have a role in respecting the right of all to enjoy it equal.

Thank you for listening and good day everyone.
