Ignorance Is Not Fair

“Out!” a furious teacher demands, blocking the doorway. A young African American girl, devastated, looked down at the ground as she walks away, surrounded by a sea of white children, all laughing. “It isn’t fair!” she thought. Why do they get to go to the nicer school? She’s tired of having to listen to white people all the time. Wouldn’t you be tired if someone told you to do something all the time? I definitely would be. To be honest with you, just because you may have a different skin color than someone else doesn’t mean that you should treat them divergently. After all, they are human too. Think about it. What if you had a different colored skin from someone else and because of that, you had to do whatever they demanded from you?

Vexed? Enraged? Frustrated? Well, even if you might not believe this, it has happened before back then. White people thought they were superior to the black folks since before this, black folks were slaves. White people were a great example of the phrase, “ignorance is bliss,” and they thought blacks were inferior when compared to themselves. As a result, white people decided that they had the right to treat black folks however they want. However, white folks never thought about how a black folk would feel. It just wasn’t fair. I fervently believe that people shouldn’t be treated or judged by their race, but how they act. I know, I know, there are many people in this world that aren’t very agreeable, and are perhaps very different from you, but there are always people of different races or who simply look different who are amiable, as well. So, consider this before you judge a book by it’s cover. People shouldn’t be separated by the color of their skin. It is unjust and unfair. People never considered how they would feel if they were treated the way that they treated others. However, people did make the right choices later when they agreed on the Civil Rights

is one of many leaders who fought for having civil rights. You can see, that he has included in his speech that the Negro people didn’t get what was promised by America from the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. America did not give the colored people equal treatments. In addition, since most white Americans didn’t like the black folks, they gave them all the broken down items, and if you ever read the book Isle of the Lost by Melissa de la Cruz, you can see that it is almost the same when the Isle gets all the leftovers. Similarly, the Negro people also get all the leftovers of the white people. For example in school, the textbooks were old worn out ones from the white students. The only difference is that in The Isle of the Lost,the villains deserved it, however the Negro people did not. But then, there is also the part where the villains’ kids didn’t deserve it because they didn’t do anything treacherous, evil, bad, mean, etc. To sum up, it was very rude and mean for the Negro people/colored people to be treated differently from everyone else just because they had a different skin
