Racism is so stupid! Like what is wrong with people? Whether you are black, white or brown, you could even be blue, we are all people.
Why do people think it is right to judge a person for their skin colour? White people are black but with a lair of white paint over them. That is saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover”.

In the past, history has shown that these things have happened on a large scale like Africans were taken as slaves to America to work in the fields, their freedom was taken away and they were owned by the "white masters" whom they
