Although there has been various movements and actions to completely abolish racism, it still exists all over the world. The average person probably does not know about the issue that is racism in today's society. Racism is a topic that is widely controversial and that should see cease to exist.
Racism is something that more people should be aware of. It is fair to stand against it. Racism is almost a violation of one’s unalienable rights. Making differences in people based on their race is in abuse of the “all men are created equal” phrase in the Declaration of Independence (Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia, 2017).
