Lack Of Education And Racism In The United States

Lack of Education Causes Discrimination and Racism
Racism is a trait that some people sadly have today. It was a great deal when the slave trade started in the 1600s(Slavery). Racism is frowned upon today, because in today's society it is expected to accept everyone’s race, religion, and personal choice. Today most of us have the knowledge to understand the people that are different and why they are different. Humans have distinct characteristics from the area on which their ancestors come from around the world. Before today, all races from all around the world judged other races for their different characteristics. The worst racism epidemic known to man is the North Americans trading African slaves. Another horrible discrimination against race was during World War II when the holocaust occurred. Today American families still have a dislike to other races, but they are finding out that these races are just normal humans like themselves. The lack of education is thought to be a major role in racism(Slavery).

The North American trade slave begun in 1619, to help the production of cash crops.

The North America’s technology was not at it’s stages of tractors and harvesters, and farmers were not paying enough for the white population to go out and harvest the crops. These cash crop farmers did not want to raise the pay to meet the standard for work, so they decide to buy slaves for very cheap from the African king(Slavery). The lack of technology at these times lead these farmers to think of getting very cheap labor, and this brought on the black slaves. The lack of education on the farming technology therefore conducted the slave trade on the black

race.
The holocaust was created by a German leader named Adolf Hitler, that believed that a single race, the jews, should be wiped out. No one can say for sure why Hitler had hatred towards the jews. Hitler made his country believe that the jews is the largest obstacle from getting the master race that he also made his country believe would make their country stronger(Anne). Being jewish is seen to be a religion, rather than a racial group. If Hitler would have known that being a jew was a religion he might have still attempted to kill off the whole religion. Rather than blaming the jews for being a barrier for his master race, he would have to make a different excuse because we all know that it is a religion. The difference between race and religion is, race is what your ancestors give to you. Religion is your choice of what you believe in, but it seems a person chooses the same religion their ancestors chose. At this time everyone thought that being a jew was a race, but today we have the knowledge for it to be a religion.
A few families in North America still have a dislike towards the African Americans. Today the south part of North America is still slightly racist because the lack of black population in the south. With the black population being low in the south, these families are not experiencing the civilization of black lives. These families few families are racist because the generations before them taught them to be this way. Technically it is not their fault because they were not taught the correct information, but the majority still frowns upon these people. Older people that were around the proclamation emancipation still feel this way because they have not been informed that these African Americans are humans too. The people that have a dislike towards the African Americans do not have the education to understand that this race is just like theirs.
For all races disliking the other races, it seems harsh. To look back and see the hatred that was spread around, because the difference of their ancestors and where they were from seems upsetting. The only thing we can blame this old mistake that is still around today, is the mistake that everyone has, the difficulty of controlling their feelings. When people feel angry or frustrated, they often look for someone else to blame for our problems(Why). Maybe because people have not completely found out to control our feelings. Maybe because people do not have the education to stop feeling this way.
