Racism is the height of evil. When one hates based on the biggest piece of identity that one never had control over, it's evil, and for what? Is it all for power? All for the system? To end up at the top? At the end of the day we all have a beating heart, so why not treat us the same. All it takes is an open mind and the ability to look at things from someone else's perspective. We NEED to do better.
