You, me will fix things around here

Topic: animosity.
One might say that Society today is at its zenith. I tell you otherwise, because it can be different and more better and thus more comfortable to its people. The States of the United States are not as they seem to be; they are not as they should be because animosity has not been extinguished since it first started perhaps when the first Europeans arrived here. Animosity may not be expressed physically, but a few words can hit one harder than a bullet hits its target. For this reason change is needed. Countless times I have heard the words :Mexican, black, nigger,cocolo, and many other slang words that are used to define one by simply race, color and not as an individual person. Animosity the big issue also prevents equality in some sense. One that demonstrates animosity and hate for one race might not show it for another, and thus violating equality. Furthermore, the lack of equality will prevent or stop any community in the process of a true community. A true community is a community in which neighborly love exist. What is neighborly love? It is the essence that joins two or more races or types of people together.(fix)Animosity does not stop there in its most powerful form it can consume a crowd and create mass protests, murder and other malevolent actions. In its weaker form it can disturb a whole town. Animosity can set a society apart and prevent them from being the true community that they should be. Hate by color, and race is not the way to go, because it causes inequality. This may also be the reason why prideful people often consider themselves better than the person next to them. This ultimately has been perhaps the biggest reason why groups like the crips, bloods, and latin kings exist today. This type of unity is deleterious from my point of view. Never have I seen a group defined by one culture and one intention actually be helpful to uniting and creating inner peace in society. It is hard to believe that one walking through a neighborhood would be received with a malevolent gaze.
Solving this may be the most difficult conundrum that man may ever face because not only does it require work it also requires cooperation. One may argue that it may be late for this to be solved but it is never too late for good.
