Discrimination


Discrimination is every where. Every where you go, you see races. Races is even in my school. Let me tell you an interesting story. one day i was waking with my friends, so this guy came up to me and said "Hay! go back to you country we don't need you here, because of your can- Do you even have a paper why don't you go back to your dirty country and leave my country, know one will want to data a dark ugly African girl like you any way"s. "you are pretending to be a white smart girl, even through you are not, you came here and took our education. Go Back Home, you don't belongs here." OK, When he said that, i felt very shock, and very angry. I was so mad, that i wanted to hit him, but i hold my head up high. I told him "America is a free country, it have more than 100 different culture and people form different places". "Don't start calling me names. I may be dark but i am pride of where i came from and i am pride of my skin color. UN like you, you feel insecure because i am better than you, and i am smarter than you". "It is not my fault that you don't want to make better use of the education that is given to you. This was not the first times i have been called names, but this was the first time i saw pain in the eyes of my predator. i know i cannot change the way a person feel, but i can change the way they think of me in a races way. Just because i am dark skin and i was born in Africa, that dose not mean i don't deserved respect as others, and people see me and assume that i am a stupid girl because i came from Africa. I am sick of others people calling me races names and judging me. I am just like other human being. I have feelings as every other people. I have seen lots of other foreigners another than African, being called names. When i see things like that happen i feel so sick, sometimes i do the right thing, and sometimes i don't want to get my self involved in it, because i know how it feel being make fun of and i know how it feels when others are just walking way or supporting the bulling going on. Races discrimination is command in the US, also in other countries. I have been to so many countries, i am use to the discrimination and names calling, but sometimes i wish i was born in a different body, or was a different person. I think to my self and say, "if i was not black, and you not born in Africa, if i was a white or a tan person, would i be decremented, or would people see me differently". "why can't i live with out others calling me names because of my skin color and where i came from". sometimes i sit and think to my self "i should except who i am and where i came form, and should be proud of my skin color and my country because everyone is made differently, and i should not be put down because of other people thinking and beliefs. But Names calling should be stop, people should not be made fun of because they are different.
