RACISM?!!

  We are all humans. We are all the same. Everyone was created by God and all God’s creations are beautiful. We look the same. We feel the same. We are the same. There isn’t a big difference between us. We are all from one race and that is the human race.    

  What is racism. Why does racism exist. Racism is dislike, discrimination or prejudice against people of a different race, based on the belief that one's own race is superior. People are so arrogant and have so much of pride to be racist. I always wonder if people who are racist think that they are better than other races or if they are insecure about themselves and must put down other races to feel some sort of superiority.     

In every race, there are racists. There is no specific race that thinks they are superior. It is people who are ignorant that are able to be racist. People often say that racism is caused by spending time with people who are racist and family members who are racist. I disagree with that, everyone can think for themselves. If a certain race was better than other races, don’t you think God would’ve only created one race.  People have become very judgmental. Judging someone based on their skin colour is very naive. 

   “No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”-Nelson Mandela     

  We are all beautiful. Our differences are what makes us beautiful. I love all colours. I am proud of my country, South Africa, we have made it a long way. Unfortunately , racism still exists all over the world. There are still certain individuals who feel the need to be racist.   

  There is no religion that encourages racism. We should all be united.  

   All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over a white except by piety and good actions.”-Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)  

     “Racism today is the ultimate evil in the world.”-Pope Francis      

  Say no to racism.    

  We are all humans…

I like how you included quotes from different religious backgrounds showing peace comes from a person themselves and racism is not from a particular race,background or religion :)

@masyl thank you so much! I am glad you see my point coming across.

good post ;)

Well done!

Nelson Mandela, seriously??? He was the head of UmKhonto we Sizwe a terrorist organization responsible for bombing shopping malls, train stations... when he was arrested (for over 150 counts of terrorist activity against white people) Amnesty International refused to take his case.

Racism is a learned behavior. If you put children of different races together without adult supervision, all they see is other children...they don't see race. Racism is horrible, but you could have picked some better people to quote.

@richq11 Nelson Mandela was the man who fought for freedom against apartheid in South Africa. It is thanks to him that many South Africans are no longer oppressed. I could not have quoted anyone better than the people i have quoted.

You've been misinformed. Mandela was a terrorist. Muhammad was a pedophile and "Pope" Francis was ordained under Novus Ordo and isn't even a legitimate priest.

One man's terrorist, is another man's freedom fighter.
Whilst I don't condone violence, I can see both side of this argument. your complaint is that Mandella used bombing as a weapon. The US uses bombing as a weapon. They both kill. One is an organisation struggling to free an oppressed people. One is a rogue nation trying to secure resources.

If you are on the receiving end of either bombing, you would be terrorized, and they perpetrators would be terrorists.

For those doing the bombing, they feel it is a legitimize action to achieve their desired goals.
