(H) 369-375: Ezekiel, The Racist Mind

The idea of racism has been rejected and made to seem like society has become more accepting and has changed its ways since the civil and world war. The concept of racism, however, hasn’t simply just vanished or erased from history. Racism today is still very much alive and there are many people who still hold onto beliefs from years ago. While many attempts to make racism a more friendly perspective, it still has a lot of pain and torment attached to the word and its meaning. In today’s society, if you are a liberal typically it means you are more accepting of the different races and genders more than a republic would. Nevertheless, politics can be a messy subject when trying to determine how racism is incorporated into today’s world. Racism is not only directed towards Black people, but also affects many other minorities such as Asians, Jews, Latinos, and many other races. Contrary to popular belief, White people also are subjected to racism from others. While the different degrees of racism and effects it has varies on the race, it doesn’t only affect one population of the world. Racisms comes in many different forms of being prejudiced towards a specific race and determining your thoughts from indirect experience. It has become an issue while it pushes people away from each other rather than uniting. One of the main reasons why racism is still very relevant is because of the impact it had on millions of people and in certain parts of the world people believe in the stereotypes that create racism. From the events of slavery, World War I, and World War II, prejudice was everywhere and hate spread faster than anything else. It created a continuous cycle that is yet to be dissolved.
