Wow. This article is really heavy and has a lot to work through. It is interesting to see how closely linked the problems we are facing in America right now are to the other countries like Britain in the world. Racism is deeply rooted in all of the Western world it seems and has to be addressed on every front. It is not very often when you see a display like this that has numbers in the thousands where people all individually let their racists beliefs well known and feel the need to actively put down black people. This story just really goes to show that there is no way for anyone to protest racism that will ever be okay with racists. Maybe this is a good sign though. Maybe this means that protests and work like this are starting to get to the heart of the problem in our world, and maybe we will start to see active change as a result. This division seems to be growing exponentially right now, but as they said in the piece ‘sometimes you have to get sick before you can get well.’ I hope so badly that this is the beginning of the end of this kind of behavior in our world, and that we will soon be able to grow and find real justice in our societies.
