Race, Racism and Civil Rights


I think race is or was a concept to define the physical image of people from different ethnicities; I have learned since I arrived to the United States  that the idea of race was created to discriminate people from different backgrounds because the truth is that all human beings are from the same specie. On the other hand, racism is when a person judges and discriminates someone because of their race or ethnicity.

 
Civil rights are the rights that all people should have such as freedom of speech, protection from discrimination and the freedom of thought. I think civil rights are part of the law in many countries, however, it is difficult to say If they are obeyed or not.
