Why?
Why is it that people say race and religion isn’t a problem anymore?
Why is it that they say that we are all equal?
Why is it when I turned on a TV and they show studies to find out what people think the lowest race is?
Why did they respond Jews and African Americans?
Why is that people don’t know the difference between race and religion?
Why do they say we are equal when I look at TV and all I see is white?
Why are African Americans always depicted as Ghetto or Uncle Toms on TV?
Why is it when people see Islamic people the first thing they think is terrorist?
Why is it in history that Jewish people are blamed for most things?
Why were Africans stolen from their homelands and put on plantations?
Why do we judge a book by its cover?
Why do we still strive to be equal if it is said that we are equal?
Why do I feel like we still need to educate young people on what the past is?
Why do I feel like this generation is lost if we don’t get educated about the history of our country?
Why were women not allowed to do things that men were allowed to do?
Why did women have to hide the gender to do things they wanted to do?
Why did this flawless earth become so tainted?
Why is it that I’m not satisfied with this life?
Why are all these things true?
Why is this society we live in?
WHY?
