Well, hello everyone, before I start,
I’ll talk to myself
To get to know me. I was born in a flat,
You can imagine,
I work as a journalist in the Spanish Diario.
Head of the Sous Rathizim anti-racism organization,
Madrid, next to other things;
I love rap and play basketball,
I also love dancing …
And … I do not have a big penis.
(Laughter)
(clap)
Certainly
The most thing is to grab your attention
I told you
Is that of a flat,
And talk about the size of my penis.
These are precisely the phenomena
They show daily racism,
But to delve deeper into this, I will tell you
For more situations, so you know well
What I have told you about.
Years ago I was trying
To extract a driver’s license. I went to a chapter
With teachers from a driving school.
I was driving and he was beside me
Give me directions,
And while he tells me about life he told me
how was your weekend.
He was in a party with a crowd of people,
At such concerts he says to me: “Yes,
What a bad party! Where it looked
Barbaric (using an expression that is offensive to blacks)
There was a suspicious silence in the car.
None of us said anything
He even told me: “In the next round
Arken on the right if you can “
But this racism also appears
When you want to enter a room, right?
I remember when I came out of the apartment several years ago
I went to Madrid to study journalism.
I started looking at internet ads
For apartments and rooms that can be rented.
Once, after several phone calls,
I called the lady
Ali replied over the phone
Five minutes after a wonderful conversation,
The lady replied, “Well
You have a nice guy! …what’s your name?
Mohammed. Yeah! Mohammed? Yes, Mohammed, yes!
Well then … we meet tonight
I hung up. I feared what was worse
But I still say to myself: I’ll go and see the apartment
why not? On the day I am there
The lady did not let me into the apartment.
She remained in front of the door and said to me: “It is …
Look…! Another partner of the apartment
People like you do not like it! “
I stayed as if …! Certainly
It does not mean people who like basketball
It does not mean those who like them
Rap music as well
Who like dancing,
Neither …
OK! Cyan!
(Laughter)
As well as for example
These are simply some cases of racism
In the community;
But more intense
And interference in our society,
So it seemed to us a laugh. For example
If you look now at the photo studio
On your mobile phones.
Certainly you have at least
Picture of the famous “black watsp”
But it is likely that if it was white
For the “big penis boy”
Or any other more descriptive name;
But will not be by any means “white wats father”
This is what I want to explain to you
That racism has gone beyond
What Donald Trump said he wanted
To be built along the border with Mexico
But there is
Daily actions between us
(Expressions and other things) that we all do
It is also a manifestation
Racism is the responsibility of all
Because this is the result of it
Results day by day
At the person level, for example:
Hyperthyroidism. When we see
Talk permanently about the young black rod
Or about barbarity
Black girls. Then authorized
Have consequences day after day.
My girlfriend, a black journalist, every time she has
A date with her friends in central Madrid
Hold a book in the bag
To read it and she is waiting for her friends
So that people do not think
She’s a whore
And other results such as permanent difference
Use the language expression “you look like a gag,”
“I work as a slave”
“They tricked you just like the Chinese fool.”
They get you a lot of negative characteristics,
Which apparently will not be able to escape them.
As well as the result of racism,
The crime that started when you always see
Black boys always appear in movies
As drug traffickers,
Or criminals, etc.
Where blacks reap the consequences of these acts
Daily, for example,
When the eyes of the police fall on them,
Are more likely to suspect that they have committed a crime
Or being in Spain, this brings embarrassing situations
No mind can comprehend the presence of a black young man,
From a flat, it’s crazy to accept this.
This is not just what racism has produced
Exclusion is an example
When you go to rent an apartment and are not allowed to enter,
Or go to the disco
You are told: “You can not login
Because it prevents the entry of blacks and Moros! “
This is something that happened to me.
But this exclusion extended to other areas,
Such as health and education, or to our borders.
Despite all this, there is still hope,
We can change things;
So I urge you to think of each of you separately
They identified simple racist behaviors
Which results in results from what I said
On many people daily,
In order to erase it so that we can progress
In the fight against racism
Now if you want to be interested
Open the photo studio
Clear the picture of the semi-naked boy with a dome
He puts a towel on his neck from your mobile phone.
Thank you so much
