Here's something you should know about at this time. Even younger high school students (freshmen) are not like our country's conditions. That is sad. Find out about a little something on our country here.
America has gone through a lot these past eight years. We went through terrorist attacks and threats, a war still going on, economical downfall, almost in a recession, corruption in our government, and like always racism. Actually today racism is more wide spread because of rumors, security, self-protection, and the government meaning our laws and politics going on in the country. In my report I will present you with the summary of what 5 freshmen (9th grade) said on this topic. I have asked them three questions:
Do the laws and politics of this country affect racism in this country? Why do you think so?
Do you think the war affected this issue?
What would do if could to help out this situation?
Here are summaries of there statements:
M****n- He thought it does affect racism, because now many brown people such as those who wear turbans are being discriminated, Muslims are being looked down upon and being called terrorists. He said it was because of this war a race is discriminated by what others in the race are doing. He mentioned that if some other country was at war with us then we will discriminate them. He said the only way to lower down all this racism was is we ended the war.
M*****w- He also thought if affects racism in the country. He did not refer this war, but WW2 where his race, which I will not name, was discriminated greatly, and also after the war. He said that in general wars bring up racist acts in our country. He told me frankly that ending this war would just make it worse since they will discriminate those who lost or whatever even more, and people will blame others for stopping it.
A*****y- Once again he said they do affect racism. He said that many people he knows are called terrorists or told go blow up a building. He thinks all brown people especially those who wear turbans or are Muslim are looked down upon even more then the others. He thinks that if the war ends then within 2 years at most these racist things against brown people will stop. He thinks if he can do something he will stop the war so his race (my race) won't be discriminated anymore, of course there will be some people here and there he said, there always people like that in the world.
X****r- He thinks that the politics only affect racism. "The war is all causes of racism in this country" was exactly what he said. He said if there is an answer to your questions then this is it, and if could he would definitely end this war, but peacefully and violence free.
D*****i- She said that they do affect racism. She thinks most brown people, those who are Muslims, Middle-Eastern, and those who also wear turbans are greatly discriminated by our country, she said anyone who our country hates is hated and insulted by our people. She thinks that no one should be judged by the deeds of others in their race. She also said brown, African, and Hispanic people are even being feared of because people think they look bad and cause crimes. She said the police will investigate these people the most from a crowd of people if they look suspicious. She thinks that the war is hurting us in this way and many other ways so if she could she will try to go to government or senate and try to make them stop it.
Now those are opinions of people, this is facts about the war, racism, and politics:
Sundown town such as: Anna, Illinois; Ashland, Illinois; Benton, Illinois; Berwyn, Illinois; Casey, Illinois; Cicero, Illinois; Kennewick, Washington; Myakka City, Florida; Oildale, California; Pana, Illinois; Pekin, Illinois; Pinckneyville, Illinois; Vidor, Texas; Santa Fe, Texas; Vienna, Illinois; Virden, Illinois and West Frankfort, Illinois; Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Sundown towns are towns in which colored people will get killed or severely injured by the people of the town because of their race. No colored man/woman is allowed (warned not to) come in these towns. The most infamous of these is Anna, Illinois. Anna is actually an acronym (said to be name of founder wife) for "Ain't no N**gers Allowed, and you think Confederate Flags are bad.
Another point there are still many Confederate flags in those states who fought against the free states in the Civil War
Ever since the civil war African people are still discriminated upon along with colored people.
KKK, Ku Klux Klan, enough said.
The cost of war in Iraq is 515 billion n counting.
$4,681 per household. $1,721 per person. $341.4 million per day.
Still not enough search these topics in Wikipedia, Google, other sites which will help you get more info. IT is a guarantee government sties will only talk about dead soldiers and how they are bad.
This site will tell what this government is doing behind your backs during this time:
This is not just about racism, it will soon be our lives to, and we discriminated upon in all other countries, referred to as dumb Americans.
Fight for your country, race, money, honor, respect, and your future.
STOP THE WAR IN IRAQ!
P.S. No one mentioned anything about talking to the candidates about this topics and related issues. Someone should or we will end up giving our lives for it.
