THE DIFFERENCES OF PEOPLE
Everyone has different views. Different perspectives of things, different personalities. Different Political views, different looks, and so many more differences. We have seemed to accept these differences for thousands of years. At points there were either arguments, murders, and other tragedies. And there still are today. But, many people in the world are still not accepting people for who they are.
Slavery started in America in the 1600's, and spread throughout the world. It was a sick, terrible thing. The only reason for slavery was of people's skin. Just one trait seemed to make all of the difference.
Not until the 1860's this controversy was fixed. But then- we faced a greater issue- equal rights. Blacks were no longer in slavery, They were treated badly. Others treated them like a different species, like they weren't human. They were hopeless, beaten, and even killed. Then one corageous man took the stand and brought hope- Martin Luther King, Jr.
People everyday are being discriminated just because of being different. Every single day. We must all take the initiative and stick up, and show that it is okay to be different- with a different political view, different personality, different anything- wether it is a good or bad choice- gambling problems, mental issues, being smart- you are who you are, and that is you. Stand up for who you are. No matter what difference you have.
