In school we're taught history because we don't want history to repeat itself and we must know about the past. But isn't that what's happening now?
It all started when we felt that wonderful feeling of nationalism back in the 19th century. Even before that, but that would go too far back in history. We felt that our nation is the best out of all the other nations and our beliefs are the only ones to be followed. That feeling led to us kicking out many Native Americans and forcing them into doing things they never wanted to do like converting into Christianity and following the way that we live. When they didn't do what they were told, they were shun and seen as animals. We looked down on them and start to dislike them because they were different from us. But what's wrong with different? The Natives weren't the only ones that received hate. There were Blacks who were tortured by many Whites and terrorist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan just because they're different and looked weak just like the Natives. After the Blacks there were foreigners in the United States who received a lot of hatred after World War I. Americans had this sudden fear of foreigners also known as xenophobia. It got to the point where two Italian men were falsely convicted of a crime that they didn't commit. But don't forget about the amount of Jews who were horribly murdered during World War II. Just because they were different and followed different beliefs.
So why am I telling you about all these historical events? Well, today there's this thing called Donald Trump who is in the lead in the presidential race. He wants to build a wall to keep Mexicans out of the United States, and he wants Muslims to stop coming into the United Sates as well. Even with his racial slurs, Americans wants him to become president. Want to know why? Because in the time of fear we want someone powerful. Someone who will lead us and make us into the greatest country ever. That reminds me about the time when Germans wanted Hitler because he was saying all the things they wanted to hear after being embarrassed by Britain and France. A weak person would look for a strong person to protect them from all the horribles of the world. I've seen on social media how people mainly hate what Trump says but don't do anything about it. Why are we allowing history to repeat itself? Why are we allowing this thing to create even more racial tension? Why are we allowing another group to be tortured by our fears? Why aren't we trying to change our history? Maybe we are the most laziest generation who allow words to speak for us rather than our actions. Age can't stop you from changing history, look at Ruby Bridges. Neither can time because we still have time before Obama resigns. Different is amazing. Being like everyone else is boring. So go out and change history my children. May the force be with you!!
