THE PAIN OF RACISM

The conversation of racism and injustice against black people has become the reality of our days, and that is good. Black Americans take the biggest hit, but Africans everywhere can relate to the struggle, and the need to change the narratives has become the war-song of millennial Africans and the generations Zs everywhere. Things have to change for black people, especially around racism. Because racism is a distractive mechanism and must be treated as a nuclear weapon, it should be out of our societies. When you consider all the blockades people of African origin have gone through, nothing is disarming like racism. Anyone can leave with people disliking them but when that dislike translates to servitude, undermining, systematic deprivation of opportunities, privileges, exclusion from economic backup, hate, brutality and inequality.

Black people are hurting and their whole heritage too. Poverty, lack of proper education, health, economic participation and a gloomy world hangs on black culture. And this is why racism has to be repelled, despised and rejected all cost. For some, this might sound too much or a far-cry for attention, but the reality proves otherwise. From Africa to Black in America to the Caribbeans people are suffering. So the resistance against racism and the need for justice and equality must come from both European-Americans, Europeans and anyone that can see wrong from right. The racism problem is everyone's problem, and the black problem is the world's problem.

Our friends B.A.N have sent this video below. It is thought-provoking and asks the right questions that set you off thinking. Black people are tired, tired of the need to prove themselves, fit in, adjust their culture and the almost beg-to-exist treatment unleash on their heritage—time for people to rethink their behaviour towards Black Africans.
