Nationalism

Today I would like to write about something that is a hot topic in the news in the United States. Last week, there was a protest in Virginia. This protest was about how a group of white nationalists were upset that a statue of a confederate general will be taken down. These words may be difficult to understand, so I will explain them. White nationalists are people who have a white skin color and also believe that white people are better than all other people. These people aren’t a huge group, but recently white nationalism is rising in the U.S, and I think it is a very negative thing. Confederates are the group of people that lost the war in the United States about slavery. The confederates supported slavery. Many statues of confederate people are being taken down recently because they are associated with slavery and oppression.

The day after the protest, there were many people who went out and protested against the protesters. This group said that racism was bad and were very peaceful. However, in the end, one of the white nationalists ran over many people with his car and in the end, he killed one person and injured many others.

After this happened, many Americans were very upset and wanted the president to say something to the white nationalists and to say that what they did was bad, but the president didn’t want to. I think this kind of thing is becoming more common in the world recently. Nationalism is spreading and many people in many countries have negative feelings about foreigners or people who are different from them. However, I think if we stand up and speak out against these kinds of actions, the world will become a much better place.
