debate in networks
After said publication, social networks did not stand still, there were many who expressed their opinions and triggered a long debate.
question, when it is not, he has preferred to continue normalizing his racist behavior. There are white/mixed race people out there, including the occasional Afro, coming out to legitimize this normalized racism, tearing their clothes off, saying that all of this is irrelevant and unnecessary.

And I, who at stake, point out to my 2-year-old son the red car, white truck, green motorcycle. I had no idea I had to mention the color is something offensive.

The point is NOT to continue seeing the “racist” component in everything that is said or done. What should be looked at is respect, affection, affection, the way the narrator expresses himself in this case or any person. It is as with the “Inclusive language” they are past.

What’s the problem with calling him my black, my black? Don’t you think it’s worse to be called afro? Isn’t he proud to be black? Are you ashamed of being black?
