The video is about a guy who move to the capital ,bogota, to find a better job and quality of life. But he has a lot of trouble when he realize he cant find a good place, or a good job because his skin color. Being upset, angry, powerless and even affraid is how this man feels when all this racist situations happen. And dissapointment is what i feel about this lack of humanity.
76% of afrocolombians are too pour, 42% are unemployed and isn't a surprise some people think in black people as gardeners, plumbers, mechanics without education or even thiefs.
Crazy is that these race are genetically strongers and more skilled than white one, and have contributed a huge part of the cultural atmosphere on the country, so their aren't less than anyone.
i think solution of their situation could start in education, improving their self -steem and confidence, and ovbiously their posibililities. And for racism is education too, teaching people equality, solidariti, respect and even punish this awful behaviour.
Afrocolombian means a lot, means culture, means smiles, funny and interesting dances, means traditions, even mean tasty food and, overall means History, something mankind can not forget never never never.
Hello Amy, first of all thankyou for posting this important topic.
ResponderEliminarI agree with your perspective because also i think that education is the best solution, we should consider the identification of some strategies to improve the education in Colombia, not only teaching the culture is important, but also be aware of this problem and make creative, dynamic and proactive activities between students and teachers, will make a great impact.
Good Bye, take care.
Hi Amy! I agree with you, specifically with the education as solution to this problem. Likewise, most social problems are based on the lack of education and civic culture. We do not have the power to jugde other people by their skin color. They are wonderful and happy people and have more to contribute to this beautiful country.
ResponderEliminarAmy, i think that most of the people know that education is the solution for this social problem, but if we think a little about it, we can notice that our regular education has a lack of information from the black communities. It afffects directly our behaviors with those.
ResponderEliminarSo, the solution is not a regular education, is an alternative educcation about black communities and their culture.
Hi Amy, in my opinion this video is succefull, it show a reality that may afrocolombia people live every day. I agree with you, wity the idea that this people contribute to our culture and our identidy.
ResponderEliminarAnd we need to learn more about this culture, their history and their tradition, in order to understand and respect then.
Hi Amy. Thanks for sharing that video. Had you seen it before we studied this topic in class, or after? It was very sad but also important what the man said about his exeriences.
