  • 58: Eradicate racism before it eradicates us
    Maikel Groenewoud

    "Why I am passionate about anti-racism? Well, I am a descendant of Africans, who at one point were abducted, abused and enslaved by White Europeans. I live in a society where certain types of White people for instance believe it is okay to racially abuse elderly Black people in the streets. So, I am here to talk about White History. The enslavement of Africans, that is White History. The genocide of Native-Americans, that is White History. The genocide of millions of Congolese people by the Belgians, that is White History. And this White list goes on and on and on… Psychological trauma that is not healed, is passed on from generation to generation. Racism that is not unlearned, is passed on from generation to generation. I am here to aid in healing the soul of Black folks, and to shred to pieces the fantasy of white-supremacy/superiority."
