What could Hiram, or anyone else, have done, or do to stop a crime?

Hiram could have stop R.C from doing that to Emmett. Hiram just stood there and let it happened. What happened to the boys Emmett was with that day? Hiram should feel bad for what he did when R.C. did that to him. I wouldn’t hang out with R.C. from Jump Street. Hiram should have known that if he was that bad when he was little then he was going to be even worse when they are adults. If the other boys Emmett was with went down there where R.C and Hiram was at that accident would never happened. I feel as if the sheriff really didn’t care because Emmett was black. Hiram did do a good thing though he told the sheriff well the sheriff’s deputies that R.C was going with Mz. Bryant husband and his friends to “teach Emmett a lesson”. It’s a shame to how they tortured and killed Emmett for whistling at a white woman. The boy was only 14 years old he didn’t know better.

Why does Racism Exist?

I think that Racism exist for the purpose of nothing. Racism exists because of the way people are; say if someone’s white they can’t stand anyone black because there are not like them. People don’t like other people because of race, skin color or gender. Racism exists because someone wants to feel as if they are better than someone because of skin color, height, and even how smart you are. I will never support racism I don’t mess with people who are racist. I think because of the slavery in the 1600s black people will be forever traumatized. If people could stop racism the world will be a better place. Some people didn’t vote for Barack Obama because he was an African-American. Some people voted Barack because he was black and when there is a white and black senator running they want the first black president to see how the economy will be like. The thing is that you can’t get rid of racism people can try and try and try but it will never disappear. Racism is like teasing somebody. The story of Emmett Till is a good example of racism because he was killed for whistling at a white woman. Racism is pure ignorance everybody who is racist is ignorant.
