Race and racism are two different words, have two different meanings, but somehow work together to prove a point. The problem is even though they begin with the same letters the meanings behind each can be harmful if used in the wrong context. What some people believe to be true is actually what they were brought up to know as the truth. As I think about this subject I will try to look at both views and see ignorance and intolerance, as well as objective views and outlooks. Let’s say 100 years ago there was slavery. The black people were indentured servants to the white.

In some cultures girls are given to townies and do hard labor plus they are sexually abused and assaulted. These girls can be 8-9 years old and get paid 30 to 60 dollars in a South African culture. This amount is for one years work. Think about our culture ...
