It is illogical to think in racism in a country where most of us share an African ancestor or even an Afro-Colombian member of our family. All human beings are equal so racism is not an option for anybody to follow. Limiting the rights of someone just by the color of their skin must be punished severely in order to stop racism. Everybody should start with his or her own way of living, avoiding any kind of racist practice and promoting the equality to completely stop racism. The empowerment of Afro Colombian or any other subculture that has been oppressed should be promoted by the government with special places in university, political places or job opportunities. Such practices have been implemented recently by the Colombian Government, let's hope that racism in our country ends soon.
I agree with you, racism should be abolished, we cannot allow Afro Colombians continue to have poor living conditions. I think it concerns us all, it is a work of the whole society in our country and in all others.
ReplyDeleteI couldn´t agree more. But I would add to this punishment for discriminating someone because of their skin color (or also religion, sexual orientation, and so on), the implementation of an educational program based on respect and tolerance, showing to all the people, that there is no risk in accepting others as they are.
ReplyDeleteRacism should be stopped, it is not acceptable! And that image says a lot without using many words.
