Interpretation of racism by Joey G.

Racism is an abusive and harmful behavior towards members of other races. Being a racist isn't just using forbidden words without caring. True racism is meaning what you say about others, and following your words with actions. An example of a true racist would be Adolf Hitler. Not only did he attack them with his words, but he brutally killed more than 6 million innocent Jews. His anti-semitism was natrually racist due to the innocence of those who he was killing. Hitler's anti-semitism was most likely inspired by the writings of Lanz von Liebenfels and Karl Lueger, who were both racists. Another example of racism, which is more modern, is the Ku Klux Klan. They are white supremacists who are againts every other racial group. Many of these people are located in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and other regions of southeast USA. The near seven million members are all anti immigration and anti communism. As you can see, racism isn't just saying a bad word; it's following that word with a strong action.

  2. There are kkk members today; however, there is not nearly as many as there was in the 1920s and 30s.

  3. You would be surprise, there were huge numbers in the 1960's as well. They are still big in the south. They just don't wear the bedsheets over their body.
