I think they meant “with only my skin colour matters” that Belgium has a higher rate of racism against other skin colour than just black people. As a lot of the bigotry is also cultural, so more against where you from specifically, instead of which colour is your skin. As it is in most of Europe. The North African and Arab community has got it bad since they are Muslim and brown and the biggest group of immigrants. So he definitely didn’t ignore it. He only pointed out that there are some policies in place, so that the actions of racist cops at least cannot lead to the slaughter of innocent people.

Pointing out the differences is not as bad as you think. It high lights what policies and changes can at least minimize the effect of racism. Just saying everything and everyone is racist, independent of the impact of bad and good policies, will just create a hyper cynisme that it is all shit and any change doesn’t matter.

I’m at 1600+ so I’m still a noob.

News about the moon always gives me a big what-if sense. Like the series “For All Mankind”. It is always with a big regret that I think of what could have been.

Do I have to…

He is running for the Democrats nomination. Not the GOP.

My biggest frustration when I moved to Canada was that politicians, media and regular people always compare themselves with the US. You have a better social security system while comparing yourself to a country with almost no safety net. That isn’t something to be proud of.
