Journal Entry: Mississippi Trial, 1955-A

A - Why does racism exist?

I feel that racism exist only because some people in this world cannot accept that there are people of other colors and attributes that live with them or around them. The only way for them to handle it is by using their differences as a reason to start fights and argue. People who can't accept people who are different always try to make it seem like they are superior to someone of a different race or skin color. Racism may also exist because sometimes when a bunch of people live in the same area for a long time and the only thing they've seen is people of their skin color and someone of another race comes to live in the area, they react as if they've never seen someone so different.
