RACISM

Respected Principal Sir, honorable teachers and my dear friends, good morning!

Why must I choose whom to befriend according to the color of their skin? Is there anything written anywhere that makes one race above another? I am going to present my views on the topic ‘Racism’ today. I am nobody to judge other people. In fact, we all are unique in our own way and we all should be judged on our individual and personal qualities.

We have lots of people who are filled with hatred–hatred pointed especially at the color of the skin. But where does all this hatred come from? God has never conceived hate. Did he make us different just to see hatred and war? I don’t think so. Why can’t we carry out Martin Luther King’s dream about a world in peace and without any kind of racism?

Racism works against the principle of being equal and the right of all people to be treated fairly. Hating people because of their color or other factors is wrong. We all have to stay together and thus, we need to make the effort to embrace and accept other cultures. This can start with the simple act of friendship. Let us start today.

Thank you
