As a person of colour i like many have experienced Racism in different forms across different countries and continents. It is there and simply saying it is not there or it’s a only a few bad ones will not cure this pandemic of hate. This pandemic is spread across workplaces, sports and daily life which does not always have to be seen physically but also mentally. And this I believe is the real problem because Racism is based on what is fed to a person, what they are told, taught, hear and see which is soon what is believed. Until a person of any colour, religion, creed, gender, sexuality and ability can be seen as one, the issues we face day in day out will never ever be cured. The “Pandemic of Hate” needs a cure, and that cure is manufactured from to treat everyone the same.
So you ask what can i do or change? What you can do simply is change the way you think, see, hear, feel and act about racism. Because as Mr Mandela said “love can be taught”. And if you can learn to love, you can practice love and teach love. If you do that then you have just found and spread the cure. .
