RACISM

        Racism is a disease that has eaten deep into the American society.I call it a disease becos it's a problem that stems from the mind before being reflected into the physical.Someone needs to think in his mind that one is black hence can be 'dirty or crude' before they can say they hate such people.
       Recently during a white supremacists rally in Charlottesville Virginia,a woman was killed when a car plowed into the crowd protesting against white nationalists.Several people were injured.I looked at the horrific scene and it was a sad thing almost like one from a war torn country.The question arise thus why people would protest the existence of others.
       Growing up when I first heard the term "people of color" i used to think it was white people becos I saw black as black.No big deal.The thought that one is better than the other comes from the idea that one is superior and the other inferior.One can say that in black neighbourhoods of America crime is on the rise but white people get mugshots too and do things blacks can call 'derogatory'.
        White supremacists fight becos they desperately want to cling to their European roots and there is no big deal with this but connecting the nation through love with that culture is a better approach.First we need to address race issue as one where no one has a race and everyone is seen as one.Hate can be unlearned since love is learned,though that is tough.
         The mind is powerful and people need to align their minds towards a positive direction plus show more love.I look into the Rap game in America and marvel at what black people do to it.They made it cool.America needs to stand in unity.Fighting the president is not the solution.Lets start from Republicans and Democrats agreeing more becos remember the goal is America not just a party.When the leaders agree and stage good karma nobody would be bold enough to call themselves white supremacist since not all courage brings good karma.
