Racism Interpreted by Paul Hennessey

Racism is a hatred for a human being because of their skin color or their ethnics. Proclaiming racial slurs alone does not prove that one is racist. Categorizing a random person by their skin is racist. By assuming someone acts a certain way solely because of their skin color is racist.

Racism, in the United States, is very vast in the southern states. White people proclaim publicly their hatred for blacks. Confederate flags hang in front of capitol buildings and around people's buildings. This pointless hate that occurs is unnecessary, but all the racism will not end anytime soon. Crime and terrorism are stereotypical to certain races, contributing to peoples ignorant thoughts towards a group of people.
