In my view, racism is like a contagious disease that spreads insidiously, much like the most notorious viruses we've faced—HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and COVID-19. This disease doesn't discriminate; it impacts everyone, regardless of their race or background. For years, people across the globe have been waging a relentless battle against racism, much like the fight against viral outbreaks. It acts as a virus, continuously breeding division among us based solely on skin color.

The roots of this societal illness stretch back through history, entangled in the horrors of Imperialism, the Transatlantic Slave Trade, and Colonialism. Even today, we grapple with numerous unseen giants contributing to this ongoing struggle. While some battles may not be as visible, their impacts are felt deeply. Racism doesn’t just plague dark-skinned individuals; it casts a shadow over everyone.

This issue goes beyond mere prejudice; it’s a generational trauma that haunts humanity. As we navigate these challenging waters, one thing is clear: we must tackle this dangerous ailment head-on. Ignoring the problem or remaining silent in the face of injustice only exacerbates the disease. The worst thing we can do is turn away from those suffering from its effects. It's time for us to unite, speak out, and take meaningful action against racism. Together, we can foster understanding and healing, breaking down the barriers that separate us.
