My speech about racism

Just imagine, you wake up to go somewhere with your friends. You and yours friends enter a shop at the mall and right before you’re about to leave the shop, you get stopped for something.
You ask what it is and they tell you their suspicious about you just because of your colour.
What would you do?, what would you say?, What would happen?. Hi there, my names Brent and today I’m gonna talk about a big problem in our modern world today. In our world today, we fight a lot of problems like Sexism, Ableism, Religious Discrimination, Elitism and many more but there is also another problem that stands out.


That problem is called Racism. You might think that this is gonna be a speech that has the ideas that every other racism speech has but I hope this speech helps take down racism or can do something big. Racism is when you judge someone that is from a different country and you treat them differently from other people. Many people in the world have encountered this like a famous basketball player named Russell Westbrook who was playing in a game against the Utah Jazz when a Utah Jazz fan told Russell Westbrook to get back on his knees as a reference to slavery. When I was younger around 8 years old, I experienced Racism when my friend told me that I can’t play because of my race and my colour.

Back in the old days, there was a horrible time named segregation. Segregation was when a black person or someone from a different race could not be in a public place where white people were at and the black people couldn’t sit on a bench in the park. There were people in the world that fought against segregation like Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, ETC. Without them, who knows how much longer Segregation would’ve be around.

Like all problems, Racism has effects. According to studies, Racism has made some children take their own lives due to Racism. We made Racism and we need to stop it because if we don’t, it could get more worse because there are children and they haven’t unlocked their full potential. Some of these children could’ve done something to make the future easier or could’ve done something to help other people. These children might’ve grown up to become doctors, scientists or anything that would help our future so that we could live an easy and good life but Racism has gotten into the way of that. We could stop racism but we would have to work together. People around the world have started to riot against racism and saying that it needs to stop. I agree with them as well.


A big problem that was with racism was WW2. Adolph Hitler was a leader of the German Nazis in WW2. Hitler thought that Germans were more stronger than everyone and they were different so they decided to do something. Hitler had one plan and that one plan was to get rid of every single jew that he could find. America, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and China teamed up against Germany, Italy and Japan to win WW2 and to stop Adolf Hitler's Reign. Adolf Hitler committed suicide during WW2 and that made Germany and the other leaders lose. During Hitler's reign of WW2, Hitler had so much control. Hitler had something named the concentration camps. In the concentration camps, they had prisoners and most of the prisoners were Jews. They forced the prisoners with forced labour and sometimes took their lives. As they were working, some prisoners got sent to extermination camps and got their lives taken away tragically. Hitler had something called gas chambers where the victims would be put inside of them and gas would spew out of the vents and you would eventually die. Hitler was a horrible man because of the things that he did and the things that he wanted. According to research, the amount of Jews killed in WW2 was 6 million.


Stereotypes. Stereotypes are when you say something about a culture or a race but you don’t know a single thing about them. There have been many stereotypes around the world like Asians can’t drive or see which is really bad because people are making fun of Asians when they don’t know a single thing about them. There have been many stereotypes about people who are black commit a lot of crimes and they leave their families but I think that people don’t have the right to make these jokes because they’re making fun of a colour and a race.



These are many examples of racism and if we don’t stop racism, these examples could evolve and get much more worse. I hope you enjoyed listening to my speech. I hope that this speech can do many things to stop racism. Thank you and goodbye.


What can you do stop racism?
