Racism has had a very little part in my life. Race is one of the last things that usually come to my mind when I meet people. The only time in my life that I could honestly say that I had a problem with blacks was when 5 black guys pulled a gun out mugged me. I don’t really know why, but deep down for a few days after, I felt a slight touch of racism due to that most criminals and gangsters are of black origin. That small feeling of hate went a way shortly after mainly because I told one of my black friends the story and he immediately asked me seve

ral questions. He wanted to know what they looked like and where they were. He promised me, that if I was ever in a situation like that again to call him immediately and he would come to back me up. He said, “I may not sound or look crazy, but if you ever wanted to get payback or need my help, don’t hesitate to call me.” I am not a violent person at all, but it made me feel so much better when he said that. Immediately after, I was back to my original standards of not being racist to anyone.

One of the major factors people become racists is because of the media. They tell stories of terrorist’s from the Middle East attacking and killing people. That makes most people hate every race in the Middle Eastern. There are the good and bad people of every kind of race. The media mostly show the bad people. In return, people who watch don’t have a fully understanding that not all people of that race are bad. They only show stories that get people to listen. It is like hearing one side of the story. You don’t really know the other side, so you just have to agree with what they say. The media is always going to do this. If the media only showed all good things in the world people would eventually get bored and stop watching. People like to see conflicts and problems. Due to that, the media gives the listeners what they want to here no matter how it affects any race.

Many people become racist because they think other races
