The first thing that I have been noticing is that even in a country where everyone is suppose to have equal rights, I'm speaking of Canada, there is a lot of racism here. Not just racism but prejudices as well, I hear the comment "oh, he can jump because he is black" or "I can't do that, I'm not black." while I suppose comments like this probably doesn't offend most people I find it to be very immature and rude of people. If someone thinks that the only way for them to do something is to be a different skin colour, they are mistaken.
I mentioned racism as part of it. I have heard people make accusations of people because of their skin colour, I'm not perfect and will admit that I have done this before, but I have learned not to over the last years, but racism and prejudices are still very apart of this country, of the town of Caronport that I live in, and the world as a whole. If we could just all start to realize that what makes a person who they are is not dependent on the colour of their skin but what is inside of them, I think the world could come to love each other.
So I have a challenge for anyone who reads this blog, next time you hear a racist or prejudice comment, stand up and say, "hey look, the colour of your skin doesn't give you special athletic powers, or instantly make you a shady untrustworthy person. I think you guys need to think of the person not the skin colour." And together lets see if we can change the world.
