Ethnic and racial conflict

All the conflict brings trouble most of the time, and the ethnic and racial conflict are not an exception. The ethnic conflict responds to a nationalist, and most of those coming after the cold war; meanwhile, some other ethnic conflicts had its own history. On the other hand, racial conflict is more likely to discriminate because the pigmentation of the skin. Nevertheless, these two kinds of conflict are related to end in a war crimes and even genocide. Even though we are living in the twenty one century, the different between ethnic or racial groups still going on.
Every ethnic or racial conflicts, bolt has its own history with the time. For example, when Sudan was the old empire of Nubian, it was conquered by Egypt thousands of years ago. After a few years, this nation got its freedom, but not for too long. In modern era, Egypt conquered again this country after 50 years of war like a never ending drama. Another example is the situation in the U.S., where the Afro-American people were, at the beginning, taken as slaves and they were treated just because their dark pigmentation as an inferior group. Commonly, when we see an ethnic or racial conflict anywhere, it must have a background hide in the past.
Any ethnical or racial conflict seen to be is taken again the minor group of people. As an example, no other group stands out for its trouble relationship with the white majority, and for its persistently disadvantaged socioeconomic status than the African-American group. Not just because they are more visible or because they have their own customs, but because they represent the minority in a society. Across the years the people tend to be the one who dominated the other one, no matter who they are. Some of those minorities are created by groups of people who migrate looking for a better life, but they do not realize they would be rejected by the society there they expect to join. Are we acting as our bodies react again whatever is not from itself?
Even in our days, the ethnic and racial conflict still in our society. Proof enough is to look our self and the way we think about our brothers from Central America. Are we superior just because the way how we look? It is a stereotype or is real? It is not enough reason being living in a globalized world, in order to leave behind the different between us as an equal right people? In the Middle East, the ethnic conflicts still are one of the worst problems of the area, but not just there, everywhere in the world even in our neighborhood something, somehow we reject somebody just because their different. Some of the reasons to create a conflict in those days are the religion, language, body size or pigmentation, and some of those are seen in developed countries like U.S. or the poor ones like in Africa.
Is Ethnic and racial conflict inevitable? The future is in our hands, and; as a result, we need to move on and leave all the different created in the past. There is not a superhuman race, as many people think in the past, and there is not someone inferior just because they are different. In the same way the fingers of our hands are different, all and every human are different, but it does not mean we need to treat them different. As humans, we have the same rights, same opportunities and the only way to end it well, is if we change the way we think.
