Racism

                 Racism and ethnic discrimination in the United States has been a major issue. Racism is the issue that continue to persist in our country because after of century of slavery and oppression amongst the African American population. Racial discrimination refers to the separation of people through a process of social division into categories not necessarily related to races for purposes of differential treatment. The movie Higher Learning movie examines the personal, political, and racism dilemmas that facing a group of college freshman when they begin their first semester at Columbus University.

 

        In the movie "Higher Learning" there were racism between white people and black people. There were segregation between black people and white people society. Everyone has his friend from his own race and they meet each other in special place and they have special party.

 

      The effects of racism include fear, hatred, low self-esteem, cruelty, harassment, social conflict and psychological pain. The Library of Congress notes that racism can prevent access to social services and opportunities, such as education, health care and employment. Therefore, racism violates the civil rights of individuals.

 

        The relationship between white Americans and black Americans has been a difficult one; and the reasons for that can be found in both sides. A lot of white Americans believe that the white people are better than the black people, and a lot of black Americans believe that white people are evil.Racism destroys our morality, No matter what a person’s culture or religious belief, racism is based on hypocrisy.

 

          We must take a stand and make a commitment to ourselves, our children, and our society to oppose racism when we see it and to seek for ways to eliminate it. The human community cannot afford to lose one more member to the evils of racism.
