A few examples of these beliefs is that they thought that black people had thicker skin, less sensitive nerve endings, and stronger immune systems. Black people are less likely to receive proper medication in cases of appendicitis, and recurring cancer. Black women are also 3 to 4 times more likely to die during pregnancy than white women. As well as this, if a black and white women had the exact same physical characteristics. e.g weight, height, age, etc. and they also receive the same prenatal care, the black women is more likely to have the worst outcome, and their babies are two to three more times likely to die within the first year.

This is all so unfair, and it is wrong that this is happening to people just because of their skin colour. Race should have nothing to do with how someone gets treated. They should be judged by who they are on the inside, not what they look like on the outside. Nelson Mandela, who is the former president of South Africa, and South Africa's first black head of state quoted, "No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than the opposite.” 

I believe that this is the way we should treat everyone because we are all equal, regardless of our culture, religion, or gender. No matter what we look like on the outside, on the inside we are all human. We all deserve the same amount of respect and regard.
