I'm sad putting this up, it's crazy out there. I had to gather all the droplets of whatever strength I have left. No where is safe anymore, home and in the diaspora.
Recap of racism actually means
It's the belief that one race has a distinct or intrinsic attributes than the other
It's the discrimination based on race/color
It's believing a race is superior to others
Racism has no color
Recent events has shown racism is more rampant in the United States of America than other European countries. This has seen many black men "gun" into their early graves.
This week, the Minneapolis police again showed the world racism does exist and it can even be filmed. There were four cops at this incident of a black male reported to have presented a fake check at a grocery store. He was ordered to step out of his car, handcuffed, which he didn't refute, he was pinned to the ground for more than 9 minutes, he complained of "not being able to breathe" just like 016. In the process, his windpipe broke and he died as a result of this useless act of so called cops. Cops are supposed to protect lives not take them. I felt really bad for him, his family and whoever has lost their lives over this reckless actions of racism.
Also, the Karen situation at the national park. Damn, all these things don't sum up, why are people still hating on black people? Although, there's racism against white people, but it's not as much when compared to against black people. I'm not being partial here, there should not be a thing as racism. It should not even exist anywhere in the world.
All races are beautiful, important and should be cherished. From slavery to xenophobia to human trafficking, these are preposterous, absurd and irrational actions which should not have a place in our society.
We are people differentiated only by geographical settings, there's no standard anywhere in the world that makes one race more superior to the other. Each race should respect the other as it should be accorded. There's nothing to gain from violence, just stagnancy, backwardness and finally WAR.
To everyone out there that has been a victim of racist acts, abuse or violence, stay strong, justice is coming for the perpetrators. You are the real heroes with no capes.
To simply curb racism into extinction, start from the home/grassroot, teach your kids to embrace people of different color/race. I believe the mindset is powerful, it can easily to tuned to do good or evil. That's the only way to cut the growing branches of racism.
As adults, think of yourself if you were at the receiving ends of these craziness. It could happen to anyone, do your part by speaking up against every act of racial abuse, supremacy and violence.
ALL LIVES MATTER
