Racism, by definition is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics. Racial separatism is the belief, most of the time based on racism, that different races should remain segregated and apart from one another. This belief was, sometimes use to justified slavery and genocide. To racists, race is a group of people who have the same descent characteristics, such as skin colour, hair appearance and physiognomy.
Recent investigations say that ‘race’ é a made-up concept, that hasn’t any biologic base. The word ‘racism’ is used to describe aggressive or abusive behaviors from certain people towards others, by giving the excuse that they are an inferior race.
Another new concept of racism is ‘ethnic or cultural differentiation’ were some people claim that all people are equal, but shouldn’t mix themselves in order to preserve their cultural background.
In our society racism still happens even if mentality changes due to people’s selfishness.
If we look back in history, there are a few people who fought for human rights to equality, one of them was:
Martin Luther King – who fought for equal human right between back an white people. With his belief and speeches, he changed people’s way of thinking and accomplished the right ‘to be equal’.
