In the world we live in today, everyone is human, so why is there racism in 2020? Racism occurs all around the globe. It is when someone discriminates against others due to their skin color, religious belief, or nationality. Racism has a substantial impact on todays society and is well demonstrated in the iconic film Remember the Titans which was based on a true story. This film was set in 97 which was a period of time where racial integration was just beginning, and the tension between whites and blacks was high. In Remember the Titans both football teams (blacks and whites) were unpleased when they were informed that they were to be conjoined into one team. They were adamant that they would never manage to cooperate with each other due to the fact that their skin color was contrasted and racial controversy was extremely common.
Although racism can be intended for anyone, Remember the Titans is aimed towar
ds the hostility between blacks and whites. At the beginning of the film, the two team captains, Gerry Bertier and Julius Campbell highly disliked each other, although they were forced to learn to cooperate and respect each other in order to fulfill both their desires of winning the championship. The young men learned to trust the soul of a man rather than the look of him. This was a powerful and inspirational message stated by Coach Yoast which changed the way the men perceived each other. This movie sends inspiration to the viewers and expresses todays society. For example, the protests going on around the world support Black Lives Matter because a man of black color was murdered on the street by an authority in the USA. If it was to be a white man in the same position, he would most likely still be alive today. This indicates that racism has not changed much since 97, when Remember the Titans was based.
