Stop Racism! Are we teaching Racism to Children?
I just saw a video that almost made me cry and angry. A video with a young boy trying to have fun on a playground but he couldn't... And even though his mom was there with him they weren't allowed to enter because they were challenged.
Challenged not by a bad weather, a broken slide or an illness... They were challenged by the color of their skin.
RACISM IS HORRIBLE
It's always bad. But this time it really hit me because it was caused by young children. They laughed at that boy they called him a monkey and even hit him in front of his mom! Like he didn't matter like he wasn't good enough to use that slide, like...
HE
WASN'T
HUMAN
After many more tries, the boy and mom moved away to an empty area of that playground. Finally, the boy could have some fun as he should. But as soon as he started playing the same children screamed at him!
They couldn't accept the fact that he was still there! To the point... That they approached him and his mom again called them names again "YOU'RE NOT WHITE!" and even hit the boy in front of his mom AGAIN!
And at that point, she knew that the best way was the way out. She took the boy and left the playground passing by the parents who played with their children who sat on the benches right next to them,
FULLY IGNORING
WHAT JUST
HAPPENED...
This is crazy... What do you think about this? What do your friends and family think about this? I used to be just these parents, back in the day if I saw it happen next to me I wouldn't react... But not anymore! I know! The next time I see something like this I won't let it happen! And so shouldn't you no matter how old you are, at home, in school or outdoors,
NEVER BE ACCEPTING OF RACISM!!!
Cause what's most shocking to me is not just the fact that such young children can be racist nowadays or the parents can let it happen so carelessly but also how patiently this mom reacted to it as if it's an everyday life as if these happened many more times before and to her... Is not unexpected anymore. This is her normal.
Every single day people all around the world experience racism. It comes in many forms and now we know that it also comes from people of many ages. Every day it makes human's lives harder it makes them unable to feel equal to remove that label attached to them just because of the color of their skin.
That's why I made this blog without any image and uploaded in Dlive, Dtube, and Youtube! Because I want to raise awareness that this happens all around the world. We need to say,
A FREAKING LOUD!
NO TO RACISM!
So that we don't have young children growing up next to us thinking that this is the right way to be. We can't remove racism from this world just yet but what we can do is to make sure that with each year with new generations it will slowly DIE...

We need to Emancipate ourselves from mental slavery of racism.
Nice one from you sir
Upvoted and following you
NO TO RACISM should start from a family. Education at college is not enough to stop this. because a child learns from their parents.
That is sooo bad. :( We should drop racism! We shouldn't look at people by their race but instead, look at them as humans. They are still humans and they have the right to be free and not be judged.
I am not invest any money in steem but how I can give up my steem id?
Ok, do we know that this is about race though? Dont know what was said but maybe it could just be a group of kids not liking one kid. Just so happens that he is black.
Maybe it is? But the mother is beside him. The action of mother show how rude is the other children to her son. The most problem of the children why they acting like that is to the parents. They did not teach them well or guide well how to treat properly the other kids or people around them.
