Why Is There Racism?

Wouldn't it be nice to not have a thing called race? And just to be called "people"? Our society tends to classify people of different races before knowing what their true race is. For example, I may walk into the grocery store with my mom, and I'll see someone with dark colored skin. I would probably think in my mind that the person I saw would be black, but what if they were really Latino? We don't know anything. We generally tend to judge someone by their outside appearance.

Living off of minimum wage??

 In class we watched an episode of 30 Days where Morgan & his fiance live off of minimum wage. While watching this episode, I thought to myself, "Wow...How can anybody live like this everyday for the rest of their lives?" I tell myself that I am lucky to be where I am right now, and to understand that there are people that live like this everyday just to keep themselves to survive. Low-middle class, middle class, middle-upper class, & upper class even struggle through life, but thinking about how others are living off of minimum wage...I am thankful for where I stand today.
