Did you ever experience racism?
It does not matter what skin color you are. We all may experience some type of racism in our lives. I, for example have experienced it directly and indirectly.
I've heard people talk about my friends in a way they could've been talking about me.
Or I hear from my friends what racist thing their friend said to them about me, while they would never dare to mention it in front of me, for example.
But especially I've experienced it online, not said directly towards me. But towards people like me. Those comments are the ones that hurt the most. Why? Because there's nothing you can do to change someone's mind. You can't step out of your tiny laptop, into their room, shake them and tell them: "Wake up, look at me, I'm not evil! Don't hate me please".
I don't care if you hate me because of my personality, but don't hate me for something I'm born with. An organ I can't get rid of: my skin....
They say bad things about your "race", while in my opinion we are all the same race. They judge you before they know you. As an excuse they use three words: freedom of speech. I think it's horrible that someone can use their freedom of speech to hurt someone else.
Yes, we've created stereotypes, but not everyone is the same right? When corona happened, I thought: Goodness, not another virus. Yes. I think racism is one of the worst viruses to step foot on earth.
I see no color, I just see beautiful and ugly people. And with ugly, I mean the personality, not the looks.
Racism hurts way more than bullying. I always said to myself, if I could have a superpower, I would like to be able to eliminate all racism in the world. And nothing else.

I became aware that I react white priveleged to things and have a kind of ingrained racism with which you sometimes judge people of color differently! Since I became aware of that I often share that with that person - I explain it - and try to form a more balanced judgment of the person. I call this unconscious racism. It has been passed on very subtly over the centuries. And now i have to get rid of it asap :)
After five years I moved back to Groningen and asked for the divorce. My ex wanted to stay there but I didn't.
One night, when we were going to buy some bread, for dinner.
They didn't let him into the bakery, because of his way of dressing and how he expressed himself.
That night I understood, that humanity is still in a stage of absolute ignorance.
My friend looks like LeBron.
It would be nice if bullying and racism would disappear completely in life.. But that's a utopia (I think).

Micaela's name is my girl, she's a chocolate princess, my girl with caramel skin.
But if I have friends, who have treated them horrible. Because of their skin color and we are talking about women with very pale skin. But his aggressors were dark-skinned.
I don't understand, why fight for skin color? ignorant, who fights for that....
In the final, we're all one.
With Dutch language music, bitterballs, pieces of sausage and cheese. That sort of thing.. Thought nonsense,
but on the week, the sugar party was celebrated in the cafeteria..
As they say in my country “they took out my body” by my physicist, but well I never care about me
When I moved from one part of country to another because of college, I got laughed/insulted quite often because of my accent. With time I lost it, but for a while it was pretty bad. I can only image how it is like for people who get insults based on skin color. :/
For me, all people are the same, no matter the race, religion, nationality...If you are good person, I will be your friend and show you respect you deserve.
