How to Fix a Thing Called Racism
by Kairon

The disease I want to cure is racism. Racism can come in many forms, such as being treated unfairly in the workplace, in stores like Giant or Safeway, or even getting followed around your neighborhood. Racism is getting looks from other people, or being made fun of. The way I would treat this sickness is by showing people we are equal by coming together, like what's going on now, but peacefully. I would give a speech that would ask if you have family. I do too. Do you have bad days? Yeah, me too. You have a loved one you want to make it home to, right? We all do. Yes, all lives do matter. I do agree with that, but it’s only black men and women dying at the hands of people who are supposed to protect us. All lives do matter ,but that's my protest to make it seem like it happens all the time to every race when it's not the case. If you ask a group of non-Black people if they want to experience what black people experience, what do you think they would say? We have to come together no matter the race, age, or religious beliefs. The riots got the job done. We have everyone's attention now. It’s time to protest. That's how I fix racism. This is important because racism is a major problem, and soon it will happen to everyone because there are a lot of different races of people getting married and having kids. What’s going to happen in 10 or 20 years from now? What will we be divided by then? Racism needs to change so that everyone can learn to love and not hate.
