Racism against Afro-Colombians


 It is a reality that afro-people is discriminated in many countries around world. Colombia is one of the countries where afros are discriminated in a high percentage. According to the video the statistics show that many afrocolombians do not have job opportunities and another high number of these ones live in poverty. Colombia has many regions where we can find afrocolombians such as Pacific or Caribe regions. It is sad to listen or watch racism cases in the 21th century. I think that Black people must not be discriminated knowing their past or slavery history. In spite of their past, many afrocolombians have contributed to build a best country and also they have had a noted participation in many fields such as politicians, TV shows and specially sports. It is that one reason why some groups of people have been worked against the social segregation in Colombia. It is a good initiative that could encourage other people and fight against the racism in Colombia.




We have recognize the importance of afrocolombians in Colombia and how they have contributed to build a best country. Their effort and social connection show from where they come. Say NO to Racism.

  1. I think like you, Afro-Colombian culture have been very important to Colombia in all aspect. People of this ethnic group have been stood out internationally in many ambit for their talent and effort and they have been that Colombia grow like country, for example, the musical group "chocquibtown" is a Afro-Colombian group recognized and they have left high the name of Colombia in all the world, like them others Afro-Colombian have stood out and so racism in Colombia must finish.
