African Americans Mistreated

Racism was seen all around the world, even around me due to the place which I grew up in. Most of the time people get mistreated either for their color, where they came from, and even how they look like. Although I wasn't the one being mistreated, I did see several people around me being mistreated. Several of my peers were Mexican, and African Americans would be the ones to get mistreated by white people. African Americans are the ones that struggle with this situation a lot by white people such as calling them names,slavery, and making fun of their skin color. This would be part of what whites would do to harm them. Whites should do the same to Mexicans. Often times, I wondered why African Americans would be the ones to get treated that
way by different nationalities. Most of the questions I had were never answered. Then one day I decided to ask one of my family members as to what did they deserve to get treated that way. Sadly my family members were unable to answer my questions, but it did bring some type of knowledge to my awareness. This reminds me of a time when I got discriminated due to who my family was and even because I had an African American friend. When I entered high school I remember having a friend that had a different skin tone then me and people would always tell me things for hanging with her and I didn't think it was right because they made her feel bad by calling her names just because she was a different skin tone than others. Overall, there are many people out there in the world that are being discriminated as well as being racist towards one another when instead they should just try get along and make peace with one another.
