Race-sups might assume they are better than others for all sorts of reasons. They think they are better than you because of skin color, how they talk, maybe even how they dress. That type of thinking can cause a lot of trouble, not only on the people involved, but for the society in general. It perpetuates a world where some people are more important than others, and that isn’t fair at all.” This hurtful notion could also lead to unfair situations for people having varied skin colors, religions or cultures. You need to understand the implications of such beliefs.
So, where do these "cadhc pedal" beliefs come from? These stereotypes are influenced by so many different factors: our families, friends, culture, the media (like movies or television). If someone has been raised to hear negative associations about another race, there is a natural assumption that their own race is superior. Sometimes they dont even know they are being racist, thats how deep these ideas are engrained in their minds. It can be difficult to unlearn these beliefs if they have been engrained into us from a young age.
Another reason for the thinking that "race sup" means fear. People tend to fear things that are not similar to what they are accustomed to). This fear turns into a belief that his or her own race seems superior to others. For example, he has never met a person of a different race, so he might be afraid of that person or not know how to act with that person. This can create confusion and also fuel negative attitudes towards other races. Meeting, getting to know different people is key in overcoming this fear.
Unfairness can also result from rules and regulations that have been set up to benefit one race over another. Historically, there were laws for people of color that limited their right to vote or own homes. These laws caused an unfair and painful impact on many individuals. These laws may not longer exist but the scars of discrimination still remain today. Just because people are not their ancestors does not mean that they do not continue to suffer because of the wrongs perpetrated against their ancestors. Part of that recognition comes in whatever way we can see how much those injustices affect people today.
Race sup is one form of unfair treatment peapo get. There are also other forms of discrimination such as sexism (unfair treatment on the basis of gender), and homophobia (unfair treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals), and ableism (unfair treatment towards people with disabilities). Such forms of discrimination may coalesce and compound life difficulties for those who are targeted. When faced with more than one form of discrimination, the social or economic consequences can be intimidating.
As an example, consider a Black disabled person. They may be struggling because of their race and their disability. That means that they might find it more difficult to get a job or receive assistance than if they were only contending with one of these issues. Because no matter who you are, who you love, what your race is or what your gender is or what your ability status is, you have the right to be treated fairly and to treat others with fairness.
The great thing is that we can all do something to help put an end to "race sup" and other types of unfair treatment. Education plays a vital role. Educating ourselves on these other cultures and experiences is key to opening ourselves to what we might never have experienced ourselves, and from there can hopefully acknowledge and then strive towards changing our biases. This includes reading books by authors who are different from you, watching movies that culturally and socially differ from you, and simply having conversations with people whose life experiences have been different from yours and mine. The more we know, the better we can understand and appreciate each other.
