Racism happens every day to a lot of people everywhere and it is a serious issue. It is both morally wrong and extremely hurtful for the victims. Racism matters to me because I have dealt with it first hand and seen others deal with it, which hurts me either way. Individuals who use racism disgust me because it is extremely unjust and absolutely wrong. Racism can be considered hateful and anyone who uses it should be punished. I believe racism is the act of simply judging people or acting in a violent way towards a group of individuals based on the color of their skin.
Racism is very controversial because others may think it is simply part of life and nothing can change it. Others can define the term by saying it is grouping individuals together by race in order to prove something or brainwash weak people. Those individuals are stepping on the sidelines and avoiding the reality of the term. Most audiences would believe that racism is bad and should not be done by anyone; but there are always those people who have no morals. I would articles as well as photos to source my paper and make it credible since there are many examples about the horrors of racism from the Nazis to the KKK.

Racial Profiling is directing at a suspect or group of suspects based solely on race. You should try to find more definitions of Racial Profiling, i only know the one.
I think the problem with your picking of this word is that you would be attempting to define what it means to people when they are profiled or know someone who is, or even when they do the profiling. The term, "Racial Profiling", is pretty straight-forward, because it is more the act of someone be discriminated, stereotyped, or prejudiced against because of their perceived racial status. To perform these actions against someone or a group because of something other than their race would not be considered racial profiling.
If you still wanted to go ahead with this term, you would be hard-pressed to find examples of people thinking of "Racial Profiling" in definitions other than stated.
A better choice for a word could be "Justice". Many different people could have varying definitions of the word "Justice", and the most important part is that it's being performed depends on who you ask (the one performing the action considered justice, and those being performed against (those in Jerusalem persecuting Jesus and his apostles)).
I like how you connect your topic to your personal life because this also makes your esssay more personal. Besides using the Nazis and the KKK as examples, you can also use more current examples of what you consider to be racism. An example of this could be the controversial Arizona Law. If you consider it to be racist, then you can use it as an example to defend your argument on what the definition of racism is.
Good topic. I also wondered how racism exist but we dont notice it as much as we used to. it seems as if we want to believe it doesnt exist anymore.
Maybe try to include the viewpoint of the people who are racist and doing racist acts, maybe why they are as racist as they are.
