Old People?

My grandma is in her 80's and very racist. One day all of my family members went to visit her. We got on the topic of my brother going on his mission for our church. She then got babbling on on about how she doesn't want my brother to get sent to anywhere in Canada or America she said that she didn't anyone of her grandchildren to leave the states because it is too dangerous to leave North America. She also said that all of the Mexicans and Asians should go back to their own country. My dad started disagreeing with her and telling her that she was wrong. After awhile it was time for a subject change.

In future situations when racism is involved, I can confront that person/people and tell them how I feel about what they said or did.

The Truth about Columbus

It was a windy and cloudy day when they first arrived here. They came with three boats. When they came to our land, we were wondering what they were doing here. Many of our people gathered around with questionable faces. Even though we could not understand them, we helped them survive the winter. But in return many of us were taken to be slaves and never returned.

When they came back, we were forced to work for our own lives. We had to mine gold for the man Columbus. If we tried to run or if we didn’t gather enough gold, our hands would be cut off. Many of us were killed by fire, being hung and guns and swords. We tried to fight but each time we fought more of our people died. Columbus had many weapons and we were no match for his weapons, but we didn’t lose hope.
