l remember my first strong experience of racism was when l was about 13 years old and it was a New Years celebration at home and quite a few were there including the parents friends and a few acquaintances.
One of my families acquaintances passed some comments using racist language towards my younger brother and l.
My Dad and several of my older brothers were not happy as one can imagine and called him out over this and told him to get out straight away which he did and that was that.
Has racism gone away and the answer to that is quite clearly no , has societys intolerence to any forms of racism got better and the answer to that is yes.
Will we will having this conversation in 40 years and the answer is yes.
Remember quite a lot of racism is disguised and subtle rather than being public or obvious.
