Racism, it exists in our world today because it is what we have learnt from our past. In the New World Dictionary of the American Language racism is defined as any  program or practice of racial discrimination or segregation. Taking any part of these actions affects people not only emotionally but physically as well. This allows for racism to have more power over all diffrent kinds of people.

Throughout our history racism has taken part in creating the place that we are at today, weather it was the African Americans in the Untied States or the Japanese in Canada during World War Two. Racism has caused many troubles in people’s lives. Frantz Fanon wrote a paper about how difficult it was for him to a black man. The struggle caused him to be unable to accept himself for who he was born as, racism caused him feelings of self-hate and confusion. In Frantz paper he wrote a line that shows how any person who was discriminated against about their race would feel. “Resign your self to your color the way I got used to my stump; we’re both victims.” Having racist comments thrown around would cause a person to feel unworthy and ashamed of whom they are. Racism has done this for years and still happens in life today

Is racism wrong? YES, it is not only in the way of affecting people’s self worth but in a biologiacal sense. The human species is classified as a being who can reproduce offspring which who can also reproduce, creating the never ending circle of life. So if any other race can reproduce offspring within their own race or even with another, are they not apart of the human species? Through classification they are no different from the dominate race.

Racism has affected many people for many years, causing people to feel worthless, like they don’t belong, and that they are something other than a human being. Racism is a part of what we have become as a society, it is what we have learnt from the history of the world and will continue as long as people are afraid of change and differences.
