Sire – We working men of St. Petersburg, our wives and children, and our helpless parents, aged men and women, have come to you, O Tsar, in search of justice and protection. We have been impoverished and oppressed, and excessively burdened with hard work and labor. We have been treated with contempt. We are not recognized as human beings, but are treated as slaves who must suffer in silence. . . . We ask for a representative legislature . . . liberty of speech and of the press . . . equality of all persons before the law . . . the repeal of [unfair taxation] . . . an eight-hour working day . . . and a normal working wage.
—"The St. Petersburg Workmen’s Petition

January 22, 1905

Took the test on edge hope this helps.

    racial conflict and discrimination has existed ever since man learned to kill with rocks and bones. these conflicts arose from disputes between territory, power, wealth, religion, or simple difference. some of the most infamous racial disputes include slavery, the holocaust, and the civil rights movement.

    these listed disputes often resulted in casualties from all sides. riots, wars, imprisonment, and lynching are all commonly associated with racial conflict on severe levels.

      however, racism is an improving issue in recent decades. people are being more accepting and welcoming of diverse populations. though, the world isn't perfect and it will take much more time, if ever, until the world is rid of racism.
