Yet,the same Researcher says that she wants to go to Africa to help educate the People,how would this individual feel if faced with the same racial prejudice? This individual had mentioned to me that the Country where the research will take place is un-friendly and un-welcoming,but the same individual agrees with Facist Parties like British National Party. Another Elder shared with me that the Party she used to belong to in the UK used to say:"We are against Immigration,they are taking our jobs,we are against Black Refugees coming to this Country.", she added that this was the reason why she stepped out,this Lady is white. But what concerns me more is the division among the non-Europeans,racism between Black People themselves,racism between Black People and Asians,etc. If institutionalized racism in Europe is to be re-reinforced,who will stand and defend the rights of non-Europeans as we are divided among ourselves?
