People should speak up!

I do think people should speak up when others make racist comments,because if you dont defend yourself noby else will.Also when your talking about somebody's else race it not only affects the person your talking about but it also makes yourself look wrong.There are many cases when people judge other people without knowing them.I have read this book called The skin I'm In which is about a girl named Maleeka,she went to school but at school a guy make fun of her because of her skin color,Maleeka was a quiet girl and she never said anything,in the story she also had a supposely friend, but that girl only used Maleeka like a slave,but at the end Maleeka was brave enough to stand out and to speak up to defend herself.

So far what I have seen on television,is that 1 out of 5 students everyday at school faced problems with bullies,and that student is just being treated that way because they might have a different religion,and it could also be for the way they dress,and at the end the only you could have end the situation was by standing out and speaking out for what you think.It's almost the same as saying that the student who didn't speak out could drop-out of school because they couldn't take it.To me this means that when ever people say something about you,and you don't corresponse to it,it just shows them that they can control you any way they want.

I have read so many stories about people being,discriminated such as Rosa Parks a woman who was brave enough to denied to give her saet in the bus,to a white person,and beacuse of that she was arrested.Another brave person was Martin Luther King Jr.,he was a man who g=had a dream about having all people getting together as a big family and put aside all the differences.Both of the them that I mentoined did great things for our environment still the main point was that,it explains that because they wanted a changed they stood up and speak up to defend themselves and others about racist comments.
