Racism for White People Martin Jackson

Have you noticed that we all do not look the same, that some people look different from what others look like? No, I don't mean by height or nose size. Aside from the fact that some of your friends are shorter than others, rounder, or better looking, you would agree that another physical difference to note in people's looks is in the color of their skin.

Yeah! You have noticed in your school or church that not all people look the same. So, while some kids in your school are really dark in complexion, you will find that some others look so white, in fact almost pinkish, while others fall somewhere within this wide difference.

Have you bothered asking why this is? Or is it just dawning on you that there is definitely something about it?

Well, the difference in skin color is not really a big deal. It is only a biological difference that is caused by the genes in our body, and the amount of melanin in the skin.

OK, so just in case you are getting confused, do not worry, you can count on me to help you understand everything about this topic; and not just skin color, but even more serious issues that are tied to skin color.

So, let me break it down. Your skin color is just like every other trait that you get from your parents, only this particular one determines the color of your skin. It is nothing beyond that. So just the way you can tell that a couple's kids will be tall or short from their own height, you can also tell the skin color of kids from the skin color of their parents.

Racism is the belief that some races possess dissimilar social behaviors corresponding to how they look and may be alienated based on superiority. It can also be defined as discrimination or resentment towards a group of individuals since they are from another race or ethnicity.

While race is ascribed based on physical traits, ethnicity is more frequently chosen to refer to cultural factors, including everything from language to nationality, regional culture, ancestry, and religion.

Contemporary variants of discrimination are usually founded by social views of biological dissimilarities among races. Also, these perceptions can be about social movements, principles, or political structures in which different races are classified as characteristically greater or substandard to each other, built on accepted common inheritable behaviors, capacities, or qualities.

Although the ideas of race and ethnicity are reflected to be distinct in modern social science, these two have a long past of similarity in common practice and earlier social science literature. Racism and racial discrimination are frequently used to define judgment on an ethnic basis, regardless if these dissimilarities are considered as racial.
