Racism against Afro-Colombians.

I just watched a video about Racism in Colombia and I feel sad because of this, so I'm going to talk about this now. Racism is a problem but not everyone is able to see it as one. Judging a person by the color of their skin or their race, not only is incorrect but it also means that the ones that are judging are playing God (the only one that can judge us). People with racial issues need to get over it and understand that we all are capable to do whatever we want to do! The video show us alarming numbers in which we can see the clearly difference between Afro-Colombians and Colombians, I realized that racism is still a part of my country and it shouldn't be. Afro-Colombians are Colombians, that makes us, in a certain way, like brothers. So, my point is, we need to put our differences aside and help each other, in order to grow as a person, therefore as a country.

  1. Hi rosa,
    It's true like you say that there is still people that don't see discrimination as a problem, people do need to help each other and make this numbers that the video show disappear.

  2. I'm agree with you Rosa. remain surprised by the data shown in the video. I say that we should not treat people depending on their skin color, we are all Colombians and we should consider ourselves as equals, and I agree with you when you say that when we leave our differences aside is when we can become better persons.
