is racism still an issue?

[JoyMarsha]

Racism is still an issue in this part of the world, it is yet to be addressed. That's more reason why every government is kicking against it, not to be in support of it, because they know the dangers it's gonna project in the mind of people to hate one another.

So far so good, we can say that racism has been minimized a bit, not to be compared to before, when certain individuals due to their skin color couldn't enter or be in certain areas

Racism is going to be a big issue if not tackled in the society and among the people, we have to create a kind of mentality or sense of belonging that everyone of us are one, though we may be coming form different part of the world and with various backgrounds, but that does not make it a good thing that some of us should be found engaged in this kind of acts, when there is love and unity, there wont be racism among the people.

Racism is discrimination and prejudice based on people race or ethnicity. Racism can appear in social actions and practices or political systems such as apartheid. which supports the expression of prejudice or hatred in discriminatory practices. Racism is often described as a relatively modern concept, developed during the era of european imperialism transformed by capitalism. So the ideology underlying racist practices often assumes that people can be divided into distinct groups that differ in their social behavior and inherent abilities and that can be ranked as inferior or superior. So this discrimination should be removed and strongly protested against it.

Racism is still an issue and I doubt if we will ever have a world without racism.  As long as humans continue to be self centred and selfish then racism will live forever. Imagine the level of tribalism and discrimination in Nigeria, among people of same origin, root and culture let alone people from different backgrounds, roots and history.

i only feel pity for humanity when i read reports on such things

Racism is still a big issue depending on your country because it's when you leave your country and move abroad to especially Africa's that is when you will know that Racism is still a big issue in the world currently till today in football stadiums black players are being called monkeys and abused racially telling you that racist related matters are still there and that the world is only pretending about racism as a topic

You know Africans are very charitable but people may say it's the level of locality but that's not it Africans accepts everyone with open heart but when you go to some countries in Europe damn they love themselves but the racism is high.
So in any racist country everything is an issue
Racism is an issue.

Racism is still a big issue in the world as you can still Year stories of racial discrimination and racial related abuses especially in the Americas and in Europe especially in sports racial sentiment always rises up as monkey chants are sang just to make the team with a Black skin or even from Asia. What I can say is that racism has been more of a lip service as much action has not been taken against offender of racial sentiment

Racism is still an issue in the world today. I have come across many broadcasts and occurrences online which point towards racism and it causes incitement against people of different ethnic. There was one that happened last quarter of 2024 which almost got a country war-torn apart. Indecent discrimination and lots of derogatory statements against certain tribes and ethnicities or against a fellow which incites violence. Racism is still an issue in the world today as many have already been influenced by others and they harbor it right inside their minds and hearts indirectly exhibiting such character under pretense which would be mistaken for a minor issue or misunderstanding.

Racism is till very dominant and existing in several societies, we can only say that it is no more as common as it used to be in the past when it was the order of the day. now people tend to look at the consequences of certain actions before taking them, since there are now penalties for some level of act of racism and this is the exact reason why some people who are actually racist would first take a moment to think about their actions before taking them.
even in online communities like this very one, social gatherings and several other places, you can still be able to spot certain behaviour from certain people that proves that they are actually fucking racists.

This is a global problem that cant really be that resolved out or something that will be that gone because this is kind of personal behavior specially into those races which does have white skin or fairer skin than in compared into those who are tan, dark,black or whatever we can call about it. It is really that hard to remove out this kind of insights about into those people who do have that kind of approach into those people not only just that basing up on the color of the skin but also on how they do treat up other races or nationality basing up on where they do live. If they do live on a poor country then expect that they will be having that kind of treatment. Although not all will be having that kind of treatment but there are places or people who are like this.

I think it will be really hard for the world to totally remove racism completely out of the world because it some thing that is now part of the world that we find ourselves because as far as people move from one country to the other we will continue to hear something about racial discrimination because it's now part of the human character to always see others who are not in our race or tribe to be less than themselves so when ever there is interaction between two races these sentiment always rises up but what is really needed to solve this problem is enlightenment in the part of the people because every race needs to know that no race is inferior to the other and no one is better than the others and that we are here to help each other in the world as no race can exist without having interactions with others races

Yes, racism is an information and a behaviour that a person receives from his childhood and grows up with that same mentality of human inequality and superiority. This is why when I see a racist, I blame the ones that trained and brought him up, because charity they say begins at home, so every single behaviour the child grows up with was first seen at home, so if parents and guardians would be more particular about this very issue and show that children that every human is equal, then children would mostly grow up with that mentality and even when they see other people who practice racism, rather than joining them, they’ll try to make them see every human being as one, regardless of the skin tone, language, religion or race.

I agree with you because it is what the parent put into the children that they grow up with so racism has a lot to do with the kind of information that is given to the child is very important and even the behavior of the parents towards others is really key as they form the basis of the behavior of the children of such people towards others when they grow up so for us to effectively tackle racism then we have to look into our parenting process as it is key in the making process of a child

Very true.
I was going through Facebook Reels on day and bumped into a video where a white woman and her little boy of about 10 or a little older was going for an interview, maybe she had no one to look after the kid so she took him along with her and they bumped into a black man who was decently dressed, he gave the little boy a subtle smile and the boy smiled back, when the mother noticed, he quickly dragged the boy away and warned him seriously never to smile back at any black man because they were all gangsters and they’d hurt him, which was vividly a very wrong message. Kids tend to grow up with whatever message the parents pass to them and should the little guy grow up with such message, it’ll definitely affect him negatively on his interaction with black people. So it’s crucial for parents to mind the message parents pass on to their kids.

Racism still remains an issue where it is being practiced, though we want to believed that this act has been reduced to the barest minimum because the way of exposures in which people are now having and how there have been series of campaigns raised against such act, we should therefore try top condemn on those that are involved in such practices and also try to help those in need out in other for them not to feel we are being partial because of their colour or race.
