We are now in the year 2007. We are living in a new era but, history is fixing to repeat itself.

Racsim should not be an issue slavery and segragation is over.We are a nation of one we live together in harmony at least for now.Still yet people want to live in the past. We are Americans and that is what we are classifeid as not black,white,hispanic, or chinese or any other ethtcity.

It should not be about the color of our skin but, who we are as people. It shouldn't be because someone is of diffrent orgin that they are treated or prosacuted diffrently.

Louisiana is going through something of this Nature now. Everyone should have heard of the Jena Six it is truley a sad story of racial violence that should have been stopped. The fact of the matter is that it should not haven even been looked at as racial. It could have been handled diffrently but now six African American boys are going through trail because they wanted to stand under the white tree.

So yes racism does suffer more but, everyone is part of racsim. Its not about the color of our skin its about hateful people.
If this doesnt stop history will repeat its self and the country we live in will never be the same agin. So the next time you think of a racist thought think about that.
