racism

By now we all know that Othello is not white he is black. In this time period racism was huge. Everyone made fun of Othello or called him names like Moor. In today’s world most colored people take this very offensively. I think it’s very disappointing that Brabantio judges Othello by saying he can’t marry his daughter before he even gets to know him. But the funny thing is apparently Brabantio talked to Othello and Othello met Desdemona through Brabantio. Desdemona says she fell in love with Othello through the stories her father had told Othello to tell her. So why is it such a big deal to Brabantio if he knows that Othello is a good person? He turned his back on Othello race as soon as he married his daughter because I don’t think he wanted everyone else to know that he thought it was okay. That’s just my opinion. Also Iago says many times that he hates the Moor. He doesn’t exactly say why until the end of the act why. But I can’t tell if he hates Othello because he’s black or because he thinks he slept with his wife. I guess we’ll figure out. I hope that Othello doesn’t take it personally that just because of the color of his skin people don’t like him or won’t accept that he married Desdemona. I couldn’t believe that Brabantio was against Roderigo and for Roderigo after Othello married his daughter. But after she marries a black person Brabantio doesn’t even care anymore.
