Things That Annoy Me

10 minute Free Write Allie Marshall Racism Racism is something that really annoys me. To be arrogant towards others based on their ethnicity or race is crude. The lack of compassion and respect people have towards one another based on an incontrollable variable in their life is inhumane. To see a small child cry to his/her mother because someone was mean to them based on the color of their skin annoys me. The morals that are taught to children nowadays can vary from sharing with others to discriminating others based on the circumstances. Corruption in society leads to racism and hate crimes. History is important because it is recorded knowledge and events of the past. If we look into our past, racism and hate crimes have been around for so long; the Civil War, World War II, the 2008 election, and so much more. For people to say that those who are affected by racism are weak, those are the people that are harming society. The saying goes as follow, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” To go by that motto pertaining to others and to think that it is okay to say anything shows a lack of compassion. Why is it okay for that saying to be around? Why is it okay for someone to think that words cannot hurt? Sometimes the words that people say can hurt more than the initial physical sting from a fight. It all depends on what is said and the intentions behind it. Lynching took place pre 1950s with the civil rights movement, but no one thinks about things like that or even acknowledges them unless they are making rude jokes about it. Things like that annoy me. When someone feels separated and has anxiety in a public place due to racist comment or the fear of them being made, the anger boils within me. Regardless of race or ethnicities, we are all human beings, we are all equals, no one is better than anyone else, so why is there the sense of illiberality? Discrimination and racism are things that just really annoy me in life.
