Race and racism

      Pretty sure, most young people does not know what they should know about their race or cultural background. Race and racism is something that everyone should know, especially about them selves.All they know is that they are African American, Hispanic and etc. and know nothing else about their culture. Some say that people face race and racism the same no matter their gender. There really is no difference in how genders experience race and racism.
      Almost everybody knows about their race. Either if they are black, Hispanic, and etc. One thing tho is that they don't know much. There are also some young people who does not accept their race due to the opinion of others. They say that they are too dark, too light and etc. Young people do not experience race differently by their gender. For example, in a video that I have seen, a black females mother told her that the way her hair was was too African. Pretty sure someone would say the same thing to a black man. There really is no difference.
      Just like how there can be a race between a white guy and a white women. They can have the same speed no matter what the gender is. You can be a guy and be an artist and there can be a women who can do the same thing. Back in history, when there were slaves, women and men almost did the same thing. They were all treated the same.  If you escaped, being a women or a man, you will be punished.
      What young people know about races is that they were treated differently depending on their color. That they were treated differently because of their race. But one thing is that there was no difference in gender on how they were treated. If you are human then you would be treated the same as every other human. Just like in class, if one person gets in trouble, everybody has to deal with it as well.
