According to The Color Complex "The Emergence of Modern Colorism in the Americas"

From in the early days of slavery and still today many face the issues of racism. Race takes a toll on everyone's life whether it be good or bad. For people to be seen and judged upon their skin color and not on what they are able to bring to the table is unjust. There should be no superior race and to think that this how our society still thinks today is just sad. It should not be the lighter the skin the more privelages you obtain. It should not matter what color your skin is, but I don't know if this idea will every leave people's minds. If society disregaurds the idea of race and racism our world would be so different. Race is something that the society has created, it does not really exist it is just something that we all created in our minds. Slaves have suffered the most from racism and dealt with harsh beatings and even rapes. This idea of race needs to be dropped, and being that it exists still today after how far our society has come I dont know if it ever will.
