Apartheid Fear
Hello my name is Patrice Evra, I was born in Senegal and now I play soccer for the English Premier League and I play for the french national team as a left wing. I have done research on South Africa before going there for the world cup and I am worried going there because my ethnicity was in a terrible thing called apartheid where the white leaders where killing many of the blacks that lived in the country and that was only demolished nineteen years ago which means there can still be people in South Africa that agree with the idea of apartheid and that me and my color should all be killed or have to leave the country. I think that when I get there I should just get ready for a lot of hatred that I will expeirence not just only because of my color or ethnicithy but because the south africans want their country to win the world cup. I think that I shouldnt be jusdged because of what the color of my skin is and especially I shouldnt be forced to leave my country or else get killed for it. Now that I have reached South Africa I have found out that the idea of apartheid and racial profiling isnt as dangerous and as real as I thought it would be I am glad to be in south africa and get to play soccer and represent the country of France!

ReplyDeleteIm glad you mentioned that the racism is not dangerous because FIFA is to have fun and not to hurt each other. I really like all the info you brought into the blog. Good Job.
