The word Racism is also known as racialism. Racism can be defined as any action, practice or belief that reflects the racial world view, the ideology of dividing humans into separate and exclusive biological entities called "Races".There is a casual link between inherited and traits of personality, intellectual, morality and other cultural and behavioural features and that some races are innately superior to others. The concept of racism is of relatively recent origin. Racism can be defined as the hatred of person on the name of caste, colour or sex, the belief that another person is less than others because of his skin colour, language, customs, place of birth or any other factor that supposedly reveals the basic nature of that person. During the past 500-1000 years, Racism on part of the Western powers towards non Western has had a far more significant impact on history than any other form of racism (such as racism among Western groups or among Easterners such as Asians, Africans and others.
The most notorious example of racism by the West has been slavery particularly the enslavement of Africans in the new world. Nobel peace Prize winner Nelson Mandela fought against Apartheid, a system where non white citizens were segregated from whites and did not have equal rights. He served tirelessly for extreme cause, for his people and became an inspirational figure for them. Following German's defeat in world war 1, that country's deeply ingrained Anti-semitiam was successfully exploited by the Nazi party, which seized power in 1933 and implemented policies of systematic discrimination, persecution and eventual mass murder of Jews in Germany and in the territories occupied by the country in world war 2. Since the mid 20th century many conflicts around the world have been interpreted in racial terms even though their origins were in the ethnic Hostilities that have long characterised many human societies(e.g Arabs and Jews, English and Irish. Although ideas about human differences on the basis of colour and phenotypic characteristics already occured in earlier societies(Hannaford, 1996, Snowden, 1995, lewis 1995, Wood1995. Racism has existed throughout human history.
The world is talking of various rights such as right to equality, right to freedom etc. But we have seen the cold blooded murder recently in America due to racism.We have seen the black mans cold blooded murder by foolish people. Who does that barbaric act and will this continue to exist in the world. It is an unending disaster untill strict laws and rules could not be formed. Yes, of course there are many so called human rights laws but they are of no use. When they are not been implemented in nation like America. What will happen to other countries. Racism is a serious and condemnable issue. If World become one and frame laws against it. Then we will witness something good. We are seeing thousands of killings in the name of racism. It is proving more dangerous than any pandemic disease day by day. we are dividing society in the name of racism. This should not happen. Racism has detrimental impacts on children and families. It has profound impacts on our health, it causes chronic diseases. Peoples become emotional, they loss their hope, they hate themselves, etc.
Racism is a big threat to global peace and security. It will influence wars, slavery, the formation of nations and legal codes. In past recent years it has taken a heavy toll of human lives and caused untold sufferings. It will give birth to rebels who will take revenges of their beloved ones who have been killed on the name of racism. The world will not find peace until we will take strict action against this menace. So, we should not discriminate people on the basis of racism, we should spread love instead of hate, we are all equal. God has made us equal whether we are black or white. We should not think that someone is inferior to us. The unity of mankind from both the biological and social viewpoints is that all men are equal. Racism is a matter of serious concern. It will spread more hatredness through out the globe. We should be united. We should become one, we should not divide the society on the basis of racism. If we want peace in the world. Then this menace should be uprooted as soon as possible. Every soul living on the globe wants peace whether he is a Muslim, Sikh, Jain, Hindu, Christian etc. So, it our duty to unite ourselves irrespective of religion doctrine. If racism could not be taken as a matter of concern , it will prove more drastic in future. We should save humanity. We should not divide society on the name of caste, creed, sex, religion etc. We are one kingdom.Then why to applause racism.
Racism has severe complications to the people living in all the corners of the world. In the name of racism people have divided themselves and if it existed in the same form, the world human population will see the detrimental results in near future. It is the need of the hour to end this menace once for all. We should fight against it and should uproot this discrimination from the human living societies. All humans are equal whether black or white. All breath the same air. Then why racism. Racism will never end as long as white cars are still under black tyres.Racism will never end if people still use black to symbolise bad luck and white for peace.Racism will never end if people still wear white clothes to weddings and black clothes to the funerals.
