Racism Is the Division of People into Different Races and Disadvantages to Certain Races

Racism is the division of people into different races and disadvantages to certain races.

America had slavery for only 150 years. In the 1800s, as the cotton business was developing in the south of the United States, farmers began to take slaves from Africa through slave traders. Slave traders say African blacks have been dragged down as if they were hunting animals. Most white people thought black people were barbaric, and they did not feel guilty because they thought it was natural to be slaves. The child of the slave was, of course, a slave, and the child born between the white man and the black woman slave became slaves following his mother's status. Slavery was officially abolished in 1865 during the Civil War when the armed forces were victorious, but still slaves to blacks.

After that, the law was enacted and said to give black people the right to vote, but it was not done. In 1954, the Brown Topica Board of Education ruled that black and white discrimination was unconstitutional, and activists such as Martin Luther King and activists like Malcolm Little claimed black and white equality.

According to the Ministry of Justice statistics in May 2008, foreigners living in Korea account for 2.2% of the nation's population. We can see that our country has entered into multi-ethnic and multicultural society. Now, it is not necessary for immigrants to become like Koreans unconditionally, but education is needed to understand each other. In other words, the time has come to recognize and understand others. It is necessary to strengthen the education that allows the culture to be shared with other cultures and races in an open and understanding manner.
