Racism has long existed in history
Racism is one of the critical issues that has disapproved of its total elimination in the society. Racism refers to the idea of believing that a particular race is better, superior, or inferior than the other. It is believed that a person’s moral and social characters are predetermined by their inborn biological characteristics. Racism has long existed in history, whereby people, especially African, are discriminated against due to their skin color.
Racism impacts the victim negatively, with war and slavery being the most known effects of racism. In the nations where racism is highly rampant, people are treated as a lesser human with animals getting better treatment than them in some countries, for example, dogs are fed and clothed better than humans. Due to racism, it is easy for some people to provide physical comfort and medical care to their pets than to a human. Physiological and psychological torture is some of the negative impacts associated with the victims of racisms. Unemployment is a big problem brought about by racism whereby superior race is believed to be better than the inferior at the majority of workplaces. For instance, whites still dominate the significant positions in many organizations.
In an attempt to curb racism, several approaches have been employed worldwide. Such approaches include; incorporating awareness programs in both universities and colleges, which are aimed at fighting racism as well as educating the young generation about its dangers and the need for curbing it. The establishment of the “focal point” on racial equality is also an approach aimed at fighting racism. This approach has its office based in the United Nations, and its main purpose was to oversee the fight against racism by monitoring the integration of issues related to racial equality. Different organizations have been established internationally and whose common goal is to acknowledge, promote, and protect the equality of victims of racism and other forms of intolerance acts in society. Slogans such as ” Racism stops with me ” have been adopted but in vain. Laws have been enforced, and heavy punishment for people convicted with racism crimes has been passed, but still racism in troubling people nationwide.
The best approach to fight racism is needed. Therefore the permanent solution will be through enacting laws that promote forceful interracial marriage. This proposal can effectively work by enforcing harsh laws to all the youth in the entire world not to marry their race. It is true that both passive and active racism and all its horrific forms are passed through to generation. Therefore, fighting racism should then approached by first interrupting the sequence of the generations by not giving the youth’s chances to marry from their own race. Adopting the approach of interracial marriage is very advantageous since it will fill the existing gap between people from different races. Instead, people will become one, and hence the problem of racism will be solved forever.
In conclusion, Racism lowers the self-esteem of members of a given society, and again, it’s a disrespect of human nature. An interracial marriage, which is a proposed solution to a problem that existed from the history of our forefathers, should be adopted since its adoption will be a permanent solution to the problem.
