Racism- It Affects Everyone! Essay
Racism– It Affects Everyone!
Racism is a plague spreading through the world. Over a million people have died due to lynching, burnings, stabbings, and beatings. The purpose
of this paper is to reveal the dangers of racism and discrimination and the pain they cause, while offering solutions to help counteract them. Racism
goes back a long ways, even before Jesus Christ was born. Jesus was actually a devout Jew, but the Bible portrays Jews as bad people who

restricted immigration A24 so that there would be less racial diversity. Then, in 1929, Martin Luther King Jr. was born B6. He decided that he
wanted to make a difference in the fight against segregation. He led peaceful marches (meaning he didn't use violence to show what he
wanted) and eventually played an important role against segregation. Due to his and other people's efforts, segregation was finally made illegal
in schools in 1954 B2. Then, ten years later, in 1964, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act, ending segregation. Unfortunately, Martin Luther
King Jr. was shot to death four years later, in 1968. We can fight racism and discrimination, too. Not with violence, but with love, just like
Martin Luther King Jr. We can raise awareness about discrimination, and stand up to racists D11. If everyone stood up to racists who act upon
their beliefs, and explain why what they're doing is wrong, and if they listen, that would almost take care of the problem all on its own C3. The
act would snowball; getting bigger and bigger, and might eventually stop racism with everyone working together in harmony
