Will we go to war every time we don’t like how someone was raised, or how someone looks? You see, I believe when someone is persecuted based on their race, religion, or political views, whoever or wherever that is, it should be the center of attention for the universe, so basically paraphrasing Elie Wiesel’s quote I agree with his perspective of what has happened then and what is happening now. Everybody still gets judged based on their race. A muslim cannot even walk into an aircraft without getting looked at as they get to their assigned seat.

How will we ever go forward in the world if no one is allowed to be different and use their talents. Killing someone for their race? Come on that's just overrated and doesn't change anything, all it does is make us less of a nation than what we are today. All of us are supposed to protect each other, and this sounds like some fantasy or a kid that knows nothing about the world but think about what would happen if we were to help each other?
