Vicious Violence You kept a straight face as you watched the news. There was another news report about a police officer that opened fire on an unarmed African American, resulting in a fatality. You then sighed as you turned off your television. Violence is responsible for more than 1.6 million deaths worldwide every year. Statistics show that violence is one of the leading causes of death in all parts of the world for people ages 15 to 44. Furthermore, racialism has spread a misunderstanding of other cultures all across the world. The rate of violence is rapidly increasing every day. Consequently, racism is a form of violence that affects my life. Even though I have always known that Hispanics aren’t welcome in the U.S., after the 2016 Presidential

    This continued nuisance is even very present and notable within our laws and law enforcement departments, an issue largely due to the “failure to address structural racism and [building] on the compromises of the 1960s civil rights pacts” (Bazian 43). Unsurprisingly, Trump was not the first president to use racist and negative rhetoric when referring to a minority; President Reagan’s attacked African American “welfare mothers.” A more liberal president, Clinton, then adopted this sentiment.

Overall, Professor Bazian explored the issues that rise when people (i.e. African Americans and Muslims) are seen as out of the ordinary vis-à-vis the European

    The Scar of America’s History: A Solution From Two Perspectives “Racism is man’s gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason” (Abraham Joshua Heschel). Your skin color does not represent the type of person you are, so why be judged upon just that. No one can chose what color skin they will be born with, and most importantly what culture they will obtain to. Booker T. Washington was a black, middle-aged educator that believes in achieving change through patience, and tolerating your current situation in order to achieve long-term change. On the other hand, W.E.B. DuBois believes in more of an aggressive approach and directly attacking the issue at hand.
