Racism Now and then

Twenty-thirty years ago, racism was describe as black people were slaves for white people. The black people would slave after white people, they would do their work and wouldn’t get paid or if they did get paid it would be very little. They also had to work in the worst possible conditions like scorching hot heat, working in thunder and rain storms. It didn’t matter what kind of weather it was or how bad the conditions were, they were forced to work . Another example is that white people had power and would control  everyone. White people would have an easier life because they dominated in population over black and Asians. Also, black people would get horrible punishments for not doing their task like getting whipped , getting separated from their whole family, not getting fed or even worse, getting killed.

Now a days racism is saying black people only eat at KFC because they like chicken or that all Muslims are terrorists. Also now a days people joke around about racism as a sense of humor like when we see a horrible driver on the road we assume that their Asian because they have small eyes, or when your with one of your brown friends you joke around about bombs or shooting because all over the news they assume all brown people are terrorist. The most common one I’ve heard is when there one white person and two brown people or black people they will say you can make an Oreo sandwich. At the end of the day it’s not good to joke around about racisms because not everything you hear is true and it can really hurt the other person feeling.
