DIscrimination is With Us


There are so many different races, beliefs, cultures and sexual preferences. But there’s no actual difference beyond our physical features. As far as I’m concerned, I breathe the same air as you do. I stare at the same moon that you see. People shouldn’t be ashamed of their color just because you dislike it. The color of your skin is nothing but a color, it isn’t meant to judge a person. You only know someone until you have put yourself in his or her shoes. It’s always the innocent who are oppressed. Those who feel superior discriminate against those who are different. They think it will make them feel good about themselves. In return it makes some feel worthless. That’s just the way it is. It might never change.
