Synus And Pain In The Eye

not about RACISM

brisk walk down the street, absorbed in my thoughts. Downtown on a Saturday afternoon, you could not really say that it was deserted. Ethnic groups of all kinds, the sign of a diverse society and presumably integrated, presumably repeat. Usually we tend to think that the nationalism of a people is so strong that the acceptance of foreign backgrounds, is a priori linked in some way to a subtle form of racism, that racism of clichés for which there is hidden behind respectability, culture, morality and the more you have, and so forth. There is, unfortunately, this cross-section of people but not everyone is so lucky.
Evil, injustice, bad manners, the indifference, insensitivity, superficiality are not restricted to one race or another but indistinctly of ignorant people, of any race to be the episode in which I personally witnessed today, as I walked down the street sent absorbed, etc. ... etc. .. , Looks a bit 'because it gives proof of the protagonists were not Italians but young black men. And racism has nothing to do here.

A gentleman of a certain age walked slowly with his crutch to three feet off the curb and fell awkwardly in the street at risk of being overly invested. In front of me three or more children of color attending the scene impassively continued as if nothing had happened. There are moments, split seconds, but no one, apart from a lady who was right next to him, he gave me a hand to lift it. He was seriously in difficulty without being hurt. In the gaze of the man I saw the embarrassment, discomfort, anger that his condition that prevented him from feeling autonomous and somewhat decent. He was ashamed, but you realize. Here the only people who should be ashamed are those big boys and big, young people and forces that have not lifted a finger. Integration should be on both sides in these things and you should be able to perceive the unity of mankind. Integration must be in the hearts of men in the construction of churches in the wall or in the apparent killing of extremist thought. Never have I felt so outraged as the face of this shameful behavior.
So tell me, indifference is the prerogative of whites, blacks or ignorant? Here racism is not involved.
