No one is immune from addiction; it afflicts people of all ages, races, classes, and professions. ~ Patrick J. Kennedy
Everyone should be proud of
their own race, no matter what race. However, It doesn't mean that you uphold your race above
others, nor does it mean that you should be ashamed of your own
race. Every race, that has ever been, is not perfect. All races, have the same problems, some a little bit more unique than others, but mostly all the same.
There is a joke, a black man
says to a white guy, I'm black, and I like it. The white guy
says,”cool.” Then the white guy says,”I'm white and I like it.”
The black guy replies,”That's racist.” In many ways this seems to
be the embodiment of what has happened in a lot of culture: White
people are racist, and the rest of the world has to deal with it.
The white race has
made a lot of mistakes: slavery, butchery, lies, thievery, and
forcing drugs on a nation, that begged for it to not happen. It's
all there in the history books, all in its shining horror. White people have made mistakes, no one will deny it. It's not something to be proud
of, or should it be forgotten.
However, the problem with that
is, it seems that people seem to just focus on the problems of one race, and fixate all their emotions on it. So in the course of things, everything is to be blamed on that one particular race, taking no responsibility of their own actions.
When in reality, all races have
made mistakes. Before white people came in these certain countries,they already had problems: In Africa, before white man came, they were taking
each other slaves and, eating each
other, in the Middle East, before the Crusades, some Muslims found a
way to not break the Quran and murder other Muslims, in China, they may have had not a drug problem, but they certainty had problems, and lastly, horrible acts have always existed in every culture and race.
There is nothing glamorous about any race or culture. It's important to not going around shaming each other. We need to be aware of each races mistakes less we repeat them. However, we should unite in our common failure, instead of saying who was more terrible or violent. You cannot go have some movement supporting one's race, and take care of it only. We're all in this together, for want for better words. Every race has received racism, so what makes yours so special? No race is above or beneath, whether in good deeds or bloodbaths. All in all, all races matter.
