Living under the same Sun!!

I was reading about Cameroon international and Barcelona footballer Etto's racial abuse while he was playing in a club game.People are being abused because of the color of their skins.Also,it doesn't happen only to the poor or backward people.Even high profile people like Etto are also mocked because of their skin color.Hats of to the guy who continued to play even after such an incident.These are the instances when I feel, how crappy can people be.And it's not about color.Tottenham player Mido was verbally abused by West Ham fans cause he was a Muslim.

It's sad that there are such people who have such a despecable attitude.I love watching as well as playing football and when such things happen, it gives a bad name to the game.Check the color of the common football!Isn't it ironic that,it's composed of white and black .


What's more preposterous is that, the club in this case got off with a fine of 9000$, this not being the first time the club was hauled up for such an act.Playing in a closed stadium or banning them for a minimum of one game would have been a better option.



What are we coming to???We are in the 21st century, but still people offend each other on the basis of caste, color, religion.From corporate offices to football fields, this is a stigma which exists in society ~~~~~~~~~~Aren't we living under the same sun??

Here is a poem written by a white, catholic girl who was pained by the discrimination she saw against Jews and blacks.

In God's Eyes
-by Monica

I don't understand why they treat us this way,

We are not that different, inside we're all the same,

We should not be judged by our religion or the color of our face,

Because in the end, we're all running this same race,

I wake up each day and I want to run away,

Away from this world of cruelty and shame,

And I think of the joy that our world could have,

If we all stop this madness and never forget that in God's eyes,

we are all the Same.
