Racism: Suicide and Good Afternoon
Racism and Discrimination Affects Everyone
A kid, crying and sniffling has had a rough day. Why is this you ask? Well this boy is crying because he is a victim of racism and discrimination. Racism and discrimination affect a large group of people each and everyday. It may be a joke amongst you and your friends. But the truth is, racism and discrimination is no joke at all.
Good afternoon and greetings to you all. My name is Sione Loseli and I am going to talk to you all about how racism and discrimination affects everyone. First of all I would just like to thank Mrs. Pineda for giving me the opportunity to stand before you all to talk about a subject which I strongly think should stop this instance.
To start, racial discrimination kills many innocent lives each year. Every year per every population of 100,000 people 1,369.2 black males and 895.6 white males commit suicide due to racism and discrimination. In Colorado, America 397.6 black males committed suicide, while 177.7 white males died by the hand of racism. Due to discrimination amongst certain groups of people 1,572 people commit suicide every single year.
Getting discriminated for who you are is no pretty walk in the park. 20% of every 100,000,000 million people are affected by racism. 20%, that’s more than you can understand. That’s 2,000,000 million people every year. How would you feel if that was you? Getting discriminated against for you being you? Many families are affected by racism every single year. Racism is like getting accused of a crime, it is unfair, especially when you have done nothing wrong.
Racism and discrimination lowers many peoples self-esteem. For example, I have experienced this in childhood sports. I used to play football when I was younger and let me tell you, we had one game that just got out of control. My friend made an excellent tackle against the opposing team. So this kid got up and started throwing punches at my friend and then called him the “N” word. After this
