Hate is a powerful emotion. Hate can change people from Mother Teresa to Adolph Hitler. Hate has the power to destroy many peopleˇ¦s lives from those who hate, to those who hate affects and the people who have to witness it. Many terrible ideas come out of hate, such as racism. Racism is quite possibly the worst kind of hate that people use against each other. Many examples of this can be seen throughout history. One event that captured the darkest side of racism occurred during World War II. Thousands upon thousands of Jewish people were killed in concentrations camps because they were Jewish. The hate and racism of just one man, Adolph Hitler, managed to control him so much that he wanted to rid the earth of the Jewish race. He did not succeed in that, but he killed many while trying to complete it. Racism was experienced throughout the history of America. The race that experienced the most was probably the African Americans. The sad truth is that racism is still seen in America today by many African Americans. Since the beginning of time, people have been discriminated against based on the color of their skin. African Americans are the first people that come to mind when one speaks of racism. The American Heritage dictionary defines racism as the belief that a particular race is superior to another race or discrimination based on the race of a person (American Heritage p.679). Their history in the United States has been difficult since the beginning.
