On August 9th, cries rang out against the injustice done to an African-American boy in the neighborhoods of Ferguson, MO. Every year, stories are told over and over about unarmed teens getting shot. It does not only follow the trend of white officers shooting black teens, but it is also vice versa. The moral issues of everyday racial profiling is still prevalent in today's society even though this nation is called the great mixing pot. A lot of countries look at America with respect for trying to accept all cultures, but once the people have experienced what it is to be an American we lose some of that respect. Racial profiling goes towards all colors in this nation. Especially since 9/11, "brown" people are treated with caution, and we are "randomly searched at airports and other events. My belief is that the only way to solve all these problems is to accept and forgive the past which we can't change and mold the future together.
I think that this would be a good idea in theory, but applying it the real world would be the most difficult part of your plan. As we all know there are certain people from all backgrounds of life that would try to reject this idea. They might be a speed bump along the way but, I still think it is possible.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing you can do to erase the past. It will always be there, but the key is to process it, deal with it, and move on. Slavery, the Holocaust, the Civil Rights Movement cannot be erased. The only thing we can do as a nation is to acknowledge the fact that it happened, make plans to make sure it never happens again. WE must learn from our past, no matter how dark and horrible it was. We have to learn from it! We cannot let history repeat itself!
