American Equality

Before reading, watch this video from Upworthy: http://www.upworthy.com/know-an-american-who-thinks-were-equal-show-them-what-this-guy-does-when-hes-stopped-by-a-cop?c=ufb1 Now that you've watched the video, what did you think? I completely agree with what the speakers were saying. People with skin of color, brown or black, are normally one's who are targeted as far as police officers are concerned. In reference to the word, "Nigger," as they said in the video, I do not think anyone should be saying that word, not just white people. Why is it okay for Black people to be derogatory toward their own kind, but others are forbidden? Moreover, why is it okay for any race to call white people, "Crackers"? Is that not a derogatory term? If you notice in the headline, they only say "N-word," but write out "cracker." Who made one term okay, but not the other? As an Indian American, a girl born with a brown father & a white mother, I do not think that any of these derogatory terms are acceptable, regardless of what race uses them. Every race faces hardships because we are people of different financial standings, educational ranks, & cultural backgrounds. What we have to remember is that we are all people who contain the same 5.5 liters of blood & we are all people living together on this Earth whether we like it or not. Using words like "Nigger" & "Cracker" isn't helping anyone. So watch your mouths & your expand your minds. Educate yourself.

Until next time... ciao 💗
