Racism

 The effects of racism

What exactly is racism? For someone, it might be a way of describing the other person or maybe the point of view of one towards the world! Racism is basically prejudiced, discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior! 'Black and white' are the terms used by people to describe one's skin complexion. Racism is no good, it will not benefit anyone except the only fact that one can have temporary happiness and the pleasure of being superior but for how long? Racism is spreading in this world like a wild raging fire and has engulfed and conquered many people's mind with hatred and jealousy and superiority towards their own race, caste, colour. Is it in a humans hand to decide their skin colour? Black or white, how does it even matter? You must have often heard the phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" to be more precise and face the reality in a more comical way lets use the phrase"a few people are like the oreo biscuits, dark on the outside but sweet on the inside" this is what should be the mindset of people that their skin colour which is something involuntary and something which is not in their hands should not matter much to them. White people ruling over black people. God didn't make us to rule over each other, he made us to purify the flaws one has and still love that person. Always remember that you're 'flawed but still worthy' you do not deserve a point of view if the only thing you see is 'you'. Put yourself in someone else's situation and just sit back for 5 minutes and think that how would you feel if you would be bullied and suppressed by people for just having a dark skin colour. God has made everyone different and that is why you belong here. Be yourself! Tell yourself that, i know im not the best but i'm trying my best to be the best' always keep one thing in mind that 'the wind will blow again, the sun will shine again and no matter how many times people pull you down, you will rise again'
