The Cure For Racism is Cancer, by Tony Hoagland is an excerpt explaining that Americas racism is out of hand. There is no respect towards any ones culture and he thinks there is only one way to cure it; cancer. Such a touchy and hostile approach to open ones eye about the racism might be the only way to open peoples eyes, that everyone no matter the race is still a human being.
Hoagland goes on to explain that cancer is the cure for racism. When someone has cancer they need to be treated, they have time to sit and think, Hoagland goes on to say that once youre sitting there you think about all of your lifes choices. The good and the bad always comes back to you and once your so sick that you cant do anything the people who are helping you through it are all different races, the people who sit in theroom with you are different races. This makes a person think deeply, and they start to appreciate all these people from different backgrounds around them because this is their new normal. These people have no one else to relate to except for the people around them opens their eyes to see that everyone is human no matter race or color or gender.
