"Racism does exist, it has always existed and it is always going to exist in one form or another." This is so true. Racism is a persistent issue that has existed throughout history and continues to exist in various forms everywhere today. While it is important to keep fighting against it, true and lasting change may only come on arrival of our Imam Mahdi (a.s.), when justice and equality will finally prevail. Until then, acknowledging this reality helps us remain committed to challenging racism.
