When it comes to the history of the black peoples, the discussion often centres around slavery and then the subsequent artificial narrative of emancipation. However, what we fail to do is to ask the question: what was their history before slavery?
Unfortunately, racism is alive and well with the recent example of Mario Balotelli. He was racially abused on Twitter by a football fan after having made fun of Manchester United’s shock defeat to Leicester City. It seems that in spite of all the antiracism campaigning and education, there will always be people who think “I am better than you because you are different to me.”
Since the beginning of human history people have sought to differentiate themselves.
