Неу, it's me again and today I'd like to talk about racism. I suppose, everybody has met this problem. It caused by many reasons. The first and the most significant is the family education. It's hard to resist parents' system of attitudes and beliefs, which are being told as established truth. Also, racism is easier taken for granted by poorly educated people, they are more prone to blame an abstract enemy, Americans or Jews. As Raymond Aron said: "Racism is the snobbery of the poor". I think so too: the color of your skin is the last thing should be looked at and all negative things correlate with it are born by racism. Somebody says that the most criminal guys in USA are African Americans, but it is vicious circle: there was a big unemployment in sixties for black people, or the jobs were too humiliating or low-paid, so this situation provoked a high crime wave among African Americans, slandering their reputation and creating low social conditions, etc. Indeed, there is no a "colored man" gene, which responses for intelligence or ability to work, any person is determined more often by the surrounding culture. To sum up, I would like to encourage people not to judge a man with his nationality, but with his quality as a person.

I think that racism is an actual problem. Some weeks ago I heard "Shokoladka"(means: chocolate)then "Ha-ha-ha" from a teenager,who ran near the African-American man. And I felt sorry for the man, because he wasn't deserve a mockery. And fact that someone thinks that he or she is better than other person only because of different color of skin is very unpleasant for me.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right than nationality is the last thing you should pay attention on.
