Race

In our world, there are inimaginable things and ideas that are important to choose our place in the world. Race, a very important idea for almost all human kind, it's also the one to blame for lots of injustices.



Race it's told to be a biologycall myth, in "the power of an illusion", race started as the division of ethnic group or historical collectivity. Biologically race does not exist, a lot of people believe they aregenetically  different, when in fact, we are very similar. 
With race, a lot of things come along. Racism "...excludes, or seeks to eliminate another on the basis of differences that it believes are hereditary and unalterable."(Fredrickson George, 2003). This idea of racism, it's basically the main goal of race, by saying this, race it's a strategy used by the government, to "organize", marginate, divide, etc. 
unfortunately, this strategy it's successful and in out society, a lot of people is discriminated by race.


George M. Fredrickson is Edgar E. Robinson Professor Emeritus of United States History at Stanford University.
