What Is Racism In America Today

To be considered a racist, one would be putting his or her own race on a higher totem pole than all of the other races out in the world. Racism is when a person or a group of people think that their own race is superior to all other races. Racism is a major problem in America. It seems that t he great country of America has few ways of dealing with these situations. Racism has been in this country for generations. Racism is a giant part of the world’s death total. Racism in America nowadays is not as bad as the Holocaust in Germany; however, racism is continuing to grow. There is no questioning the fact that racism is alive and well in America today. One form of racism that is running wild in the United States is discrimination because people

who are of other races hold few jobs in the Government. Racism in America today is the worst it has been. Movements such as Black Lives Matter are organized to fight for the liberties and freedoms that include racial equality. Although some activists are trying to end racism, it continues to be a growing problem today.
The K.K.K. or Ku Klux Klan is one of the many different racial groups in the United States of America. This is a racial terrorist group that has the main focus of destroying the very existence of the other races or ethnic groups. Members of this specific group are usually in association with other white supremacy groups like their own. History.com states that the K.K.K. was formed in Pulaski, Tennessee but not by former confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest. However, Forrest was named the K.K.K.’s grand wizard. The K.K.K. was a group of racial extremists that would terrorize politicians and other people of other races. The Klan would do the most unspeakable actions towards other races, like burning buildings mass murdering groups of people of other races. The people of this group believed that the race that they were classified in was in a sense the superior race above the majority of other races.
Other hate groups such as the Neo- Nazis are still growing their numbers every day. Splcenter.org states that Neo-Nazis are people that still worship Adolf Hitler and his actions, but hate people who are not classified in the category of the master race like Hitler himself did. These groups use Holocaust-like tactics to get what they wanted. The most active of these group was the National Alliance, which was led by until his death William Pierce who in fact wrote “The Turner Diaries”. Neo-Nazis hate all the same things that the Nazis did during the Holocaust, However one the main targets is still people that are different than they are. The people of this group are often called skinheads, and spray paint swastikas on buildings to scare the general public.
Splcenter.org states that the white Nationalist groups of the American people believe that the white race is superior to all of the other races today.

The K.K.K. and Neo-Nazi groups of America fall into the same category as the White Nationalist groups. Members of this group usually are not afraid to do whatever they have to do to invoke fear to other racial groups. These groups often resort to using violence and harsh racial slurs to get their message or lesson they are trying to teach across. Groups such as the K.K.K Neo-Nazis and White nationalists all believe that the color of the skin of their group's members is in factor the master

race.
Many people in America are trying to end racism, but some are however not very successful. There are many ways people can try to help towards the end of racism. Hate crimes in America and other countries are motivated by race more than anything else as said by Anup Shah.In Natasha Noman’s article, she states that there are active hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan in every state of America. It is said on Troopers.ny.gov that one-way adults can help reduce racist hate crimes is by setting a good example by showing respect for others through actions, attitudes, and remarks. It is also said on Troopers.ny.gov that another way adults can help to lessen the number of hate crimes is “by organizing forums to examine possible sources of bigotry and hate violence in the community and brainstorm preventive actions.” It is also said on Troopers.ny.gov that adults can help reduce the number of hate crimes by encouraging law enforcement to collect hate crime statistics and make them available to the public. It is also said on Troopers.ny.gov that if American adults put aside their differences and work together as a cohesive unit then those actions would reduce the number of race-related hate crimes not only in the United States but all around the world.
On Trooper.ny.gov it is stated that one of many ways children can try to reduce racist hate crimes, by respecting their peers.

They can also support the cause, starting clubs, and after school activities that all students of that school can attend. Donald J. Trump said it best during his inauguration speech when he said “Black or Brown or White, We all bleed the same red blood as Patriots.” The meaning behind this quote is that no matter what skin color a person is, that person still bleeds the same color of blood as the person sitting or standing next to them. Troopers.ny.gov put it pretty straight forward when they stated if people work together and cooperate with each other, then the American people will begin to chip away at the major racism problem in America. In the article written by Nicki Lisa Cole, she said, that every single person in America can help end racism by simply telling those who are committing these heinous crimes that it is not right, and they need to stop doing those specific actions towards other races. Mrs. Nicki Lisa Cole went on to say that if the American people can come together and cooperate with one another, then and only then will citizens be able to overcome the adversity that is known in America as racism.A Famous African American Philanthropist named Mr.Nelson Mandela said it best when he said “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they

learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” This quote by Mr. Mandela is saying that if civilians can be taught hatred, and discrimination then people as human beings can be taught love and compassion just as easily as hatred. The article by Byron Allen states that if people as Americans change the justice system to be racially equal, and if citizens allow the other race groups of America jobs in the U.S. capital, then people as Americans will be one step closer to ending racism once and for all. Wikihow wrote in their article that if we as American citizens respect the people of other races and their ways of life and their beliefs then Americans will be one step closer to the end of the major problem in America that is racism.
There are many ways a person can try to help end the growing problem known as racism. Wikihow stated that by having organized protests, that those protests hopefully open the eye of the young people of America and show them that there is more to life than targeting specific races for fun. If the citizens of America can set aside their racial biases, then will they be able to help the campaigns that are trying very hard to end racism? Wikihow states that if the American people fight for laws against racism, and keep fighting for racial equality then we can end the disease of a problem known as racism. In the article written by the people at the Leadership Conference they stated that if the American people are trained with the proper materials, then that would reduce the number of criminals, and discriminant behavior severely. The article also states that technology, and the way it is advancing, is helping to reduce hate and discrimination severely. The writers at Partners against Hate wrote a similar article stating that if teachers in schools, teaching the youth of America to ignore the stereotypes of other races and come together as a people not by the color of their skin and fight alongside one another to end racism and hate. The writers at Justice .gov stated that one way of many to stop hate crimes is to provide teaching staffs with training that will teach them how to handle a situation, and how to prevent those sort of actions from happening at their high school in the future. They also wrote that if schools develop certain punishments for those students who disobey their no hate policies, then those students would stop hating on other students since no student wants to get into trouble for their actions. The writers at Justice .gove also stated that if schools across the United States formed anti-hate groups or anti-racism groups that the students could use to fight alongside other schools of American soil to end the major problem that is known as hate or racism.
In the article written by Mrs. Dina Hachuel states that if schools set up activities that required people of other races to hear stories about how the other races got to be how they are today, then those people that are committing these heinous hate crimes would see that the racial stereotypes are ways wrong when it comes to the people of the other races. She also writes that if people around the U.S. start a group for all the different racial groups to come together, and interact with people of other races that would cut down the number of racist activities in the United States of America severely. She also stated that if officers of justice provide courses for students of all ages genders races and ethnic groups that teach them to love the person sitting next to them, regardless of the gender they are what religion they are or even what colour their skin is because the fact still remains that we are all human beings. John Legend stated that “I do believe that part of us ending racism is us seeing each other’s humanity and learning to love each other, even if Americans look different or worship differently or live differently.” This quote is stating that if the American people can set aside our differences and get along with people of other races, then citizens will be a little closer to ending racism once and for all. One way insurance companies and the government can help reduce racism in America is by the graduate team on Contexts.org is offering affordable health care and other insurances to all races in general, so that it does not look like they are targeting any specific race for more money.
There are a lot of American citizens working hard to try and end the problem that is racism.People like Nelson Mandela and many other activists are trying to get the young people of America to open their eyes in a sense and see that racism is a major problem in America nowadays. The events that are taking place in the United States’ streets are leading up to something big and horrible that is going to happen here soon if U.S. citizens do not start getting along with one another. Racism in America needs to be terminated in the near future, or something worse than what is happening now is going to be happening.
