included the slave trade that in that era was a good way to grow the number of workers in one society, and not a racist thing. However, when the Europeans in the nineteenth century began to colonize the Black continent and the Americas, they found justification for imposing the colonized peoples with their laws and ways of living. One of those reasons is the bad idea that Blacks and Indians were inferior races and began to apply a racial discrimination in the colonies to make sure certain rights to Europeans have kept. A case that happens in the book proves the racism it is in world, and in a really bad way. R.C Rydel is a really good friend of Hiram, the protagonist of the book. The problem is R.C is really racist. They both went to the River to go fishing and Emmett Till comes up asking for a snack. Hiram wanted give him the food, but he could not with R.C around. “Givin our lunch to a nigger? You must be as crazy as your pa is. I’d just as soon throw our food to the fish as see it go to waste on this trash” (90).Emmett boy is just hungry “I didn’t mean nothing. My friend here is sharing his lunch, and –“(91). The racism is evident and worse then originally thought. ““Carp, you coloreds love Carp.” He stuck his blade into the tail end of the fish and cut up to its head, letting the blood drip onto Emmett’s chest and face, He gagged and yelled for help, but R.C. held him” (92). Cases of racism do not happen just in the United States. Racism is a world issue. Racist actions happen in soccer games in Italy. The fans go to the stadium dressing in monkey clothes or with bananas to throw at the black players on the field.

The world can have a little hope that the racism will be over some day and somehow. No-racist campaigns and groups around the world exist, maybe trying show to racist people they are wrong about judging people they do not know just because they are black. The book gives this little hope to the reader too since the book talks about some characters that are not racists. One example is Hiram’s dad. He is not racist as his dad, Hiram’s grandfather, and because he did not agree with some stuff that his dad believes, they do not have a good relationship. Another example is Hiram. After everything he saw R.C. do to Emmett, the black kid, he definitely does not agree with what R.C does. “R.C isn’t just acting unfriendly. Grampa; he is torturing him. It is crazy. Why would anybody act like that?” (95).
It is clear that R.C. acts without thinking about it and use his own hands to make justice, but have some kind of justice when the subject is racism? Talking about the law, there are a laws called Jim Crow laws that are a state laws. These laws makes all public schools and the most of public places have separate places to black and white people, but all this laws is cancelled for The Civil Rights Act in 1964. Basing on it is hard to find some law that is completely fair about the racism, because a law will never make both sides happy. In Mississippi Trial 1955 , by Chris Crowe , the black kid Emmett gets killed by three white men and this case goes , to trial. After all witness talk it, is completely clear for everyone in the court that these three men are guilty, but maybe not for the jury. “He cleared his throat and read from a paper he held. “We find the defendants not guilty”” (191).

Most of racism cases that go to the justice, end up inside a draw, with no resolution. It depends if the judge is corrupt or not, depends if the judge is racist or not, and that is the reason it is so hard to solve some racism problems or cases. Maybe the racism is an issue that will never be solve. Maybe not until people stop acting without thinking. Maybe if people start acting exactly like a child. Children’s do not judge because of color and they are always honest, does not matter what. The future of the world is the children’s , until parents , grandparents and family still teaching kids that the black is worse than the white , or the inverse , the racism in world will never end.
