Description:

Can a teenagers point really make an impact on others lives? Some would say no, but I believe YES, yes it does. NO MATTER WHAT my age is, 10 or 65, my opinion should count. I'm sure that racism plays apart in many of your lives which is no shocker. I may not be an adult, but even when I was younger I could remember race being brought up. I am who I AM and you are who YOU are. I am Asian not yellow, I am African American not black, I am Caucasion not white, I am Mexican not brown, I am Native American not red!YELLOW BLACK WHITE RED OR BROWN IT 'should' MAKENO DIFFERENCE! Yes, you can be involved with your culture, but not in a racist way. I have heard time and time again that "white people/the crackers" have it so much easier than all the other races. That "them Asians/yellowpeople" are so smart they should be forced to do my homework. That "black people/n-word are just from the hood and can never be anything more. That all them brown people/beaners are all illegal "aliens". Those words are so hurtful and I know I am just naming a few, because I don't think I could continue on. The point I am trying to make is that we are all just people trying to get by in this crazy world and being segregated an judged because of the color of our skin does not make it any easier for any of us. A color is just a color. I have friends of all races not color's, but others do not see it that way. If your black and you hang out with too many white people you are not accepted by your "own kind" so I've heard, and if you are white and hang out with only black people you are a wigger. WHY! WHY do people say it like that? So what I have friends and I'm happy with life what does it matter to you?

If you are against racism and would like to stop it please Comment below tell me how you feel and maybe just maybe we can help stop it...

And I have an idea that could be put into place all across the united states. A march, a march for exceptence. Racism is something we all face and if we all come together on the same day the people who are not joining in will see how strongly we believe in this fight.

Thanks for listening and feel free to tell your story of how racism has affected you and if you would like to help say so and where you are from so people can see how wide spread this cause is!

Turkey is full of racist people. Turks will f*ck a black person but feel there not good enough to marry or introduce them to their parents! My friend is black & pregnant by a turkish guy and he dumped her without reason! He hasn't denied the baby but refuses to acknowledge it because his parents will be disappointed! Stop racism world wide

Imagine being blind for a second...now, does the color of someone's skin really bother you? I HATE it when anyone thinks that they are somehow superior to anyone else. I believe that everyone is equal NO MATTER skin color, gender, sexual orientation,...I don't care if you are racist then you probably are just useing that as an excuse because you have no real spark in life, no battle to fight for, or no real character or personality... No one should treat anyone ANY different than they would want to be treated...love and accept people for who they are

My view is simple! We are all people and we all should have the same rights and be treated in the same respected manner! I fully support your comments!

To me racism is the lowest and most hateful thing that is all around us. I may be a Canadian but I have seen it for myself and I felt the hurt and pain of the people who were being discriminated against. this is something that should stop it is disgraceful I am ashamed of those who are showing this form of racism.Yours sincerly Mrs Susan Powney.

you are so right! another thing we should also legalize freedom by legalizing marijuana. its proven to be ALOT less harmful than alchohol OR cigarettes. it doesnt cause cancer, doesnt hurt your liver, doesnt kill brain cells,only makes you happy.
