Most of the people within our community have seen racism first hand and on many occasions either large or small the acts done by some can reflect largely on our community as a whole.Racism from many different people's perspective can be different acts what one person may believe to be racist others may not and everything mainly is decided by what type of family or community you were raised with as the deciding factor.Defining racism for your community is the first step in solving most problems with race as the basis if you have standard set for what is perceived to be racist then everyone will have a better understanding of what is acceptable in most cases racism in all forms being completely condemned.As in most cases it is with our own while some groups are still fighting against it it has become more accepted in our society to accept others than to hate each other.
Racism within a community can cause a divide amongst groups especially when each group has no repercussions for such acts.In a community as small as ours with as little diversity as we have it becomes an even more apparent problem With no rules or laws in place to promote equality amongst the community members there can be major problems. With promotion of equality we can learn to accept the differences amongst ourselves deepening our communities relationship and strengthening each other and our bond.While some differences might make us weaker others make us stronger and our differences are what make equality us important.
Dealing with racist acts is one of the hardest parts of equality amongst different races.causing even more of a fracture between each group after having legal matters come into a situation.Groups may even decide to take matters into their own hands if something is not done or it does not seem to be enough.violence in our own community is not common but in many it is.all of these problems could be solved with education and mutual understanding amongst community members.The change we want to see in our own community starts with us in our very own school.
Connor, I really like how well written the post is. Along with that I agree that people need to "walk in someone else's shoes" to truly understand racism. I also agree how there is no laws promoting racism, there really isn't too much to prevent it. Although I do disagree with the "taking it into your own hands" part.
