Racism: When Will It End?

It would be an understatement to suggest that racism is not an issue. It exists now more than ever before. We see it, we hear about it, and unfortunately some experience it. African Americans have been treated horribly because of their skin color. Middle Easterns, Arabs, or primarily any Muslim individual have been experiencing hatred due to the stigma of terrorism. Now Asians are being harassed due to the origins of the COVID-19 virus in China. Racism is a major issue.

The question is not as to when this will stop but rather what we need to do to change the mindset of those who only seem to see with their eyes, and not with their hearts. If one were to truly look at the world, one will find many similar and like minded people. You will notice the beauty of equality. Islam is one religion that beautifully explains the concept that all of mankind is equal in the sight of God. If we are all one in front of God, then why can we not be one in front of each other?
