I continue to question the sensibility of those who claim there is no more RACISM (especially against people of African descent) in 2023. I just saw a video of a young Gymnast in IRELAND from early 2022 who was literally skipped from receiving a medal as if she did not exist. Several Caucasian kids before and after her were given medals, and she was skipped. You can see in the video how confused the little girl was .....as if "what did I do wrong?" Africans in the West have been asking this question for centuries, including in 2023.... what did Africans do wrong for them to be treated as if they are invisible.....
Those who coined "Black Life Matter" are not saying other lives don't matter. What they are asking is, "Why are we being treated as if our lives don't matter."
The only excuse of the lady is that it was an error - very convenient https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcJkuWOhFtM .... see the video yourself and see how it is almost impossible for this to happen without it being a deliberate act......
Those of us who work and live among predominantly Caucasians in the West live the reality of this every day... You are ignored, you are not supported, you are excluded - many, deliberately or through a pre-conceived mindset that shows up naturally to those perpetuating the behavior, and you are denied opportunity given to your Caucasian counterparts on a platter of gold. you are called inferior to your face, you are second-guessed many times when you show exceptional record - they attempt to attribute your success to others or make a concerted effort to dismiss, diffuse, or counter your success.....
Racism has no place in the current human dispensation. We all MUST choose to stamp out this evil. No one is born with hatred, you learn it.... we should continue to educate those perpetuating it or those abating it by denying it exists. It is a LOSE-LOSE strategy for any organization, community, or nation that allows it to reign...
