Everyone in the world is equal
Racism is a subject that is of great importance and unfortunately takes place in many, if not all societies. Racism is a word that insinuates a world of hatred, oppression and violence. It is a simple six letter word that has opened the doors of great devastations witnessed by the eyes of history. Racism disagrees with our ideas and beliefs that we, humans are all equal, where no member of one race is superior to a member in another and that a man's ethnicity, colour, descent, national or ethnic origin should not impair him to the enjoyment of his human rights and fundamental freedoms.
The phenomena of racism and racial discrimination are widespread all over the world from Europe to Australia and from America to the Middle-East. Europe is a complex area with many cultures in a relatively small area of land; it has seen many conflicts in the past, national identity was a main fuel of these conflicts. The First World War was triggered by the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on June 1914; this resulted from detestation between the Austria-Hungarians. The Second World War commenced from the rise of authoritarian dictators in Germany and Italy that pledged to their people that they will no longer accept being victims of inequality and racial acts from prominent France and England. Currently in the Middle-East resentment towards Americans is evident mainly due to its governmental foreign policies; this has manifested into a form of racism, where many Western capitalist chains from retail stores (Marks and Spencer's) and fast food restaurants (McDonalds) to fizzy drinks (Coca-Cola) are often boycotted. After the terrible acts of September 11 there has been an outpouring of violent racial hatred by a minority of people in Western countries against people that look Middle Eastern. Another racial painting of our time is the painting of the Palestinian people, an image that was imprinted ninety years ago by Balfour's Declaration which promised to build a state for Jews in Palestine; a state on Palestinian home land. In 1948, the Palestinian people turned into refugees, with no country of their own. From then until this day…they are still suffering and begging for self-determination and for Zionist racism to stop.
