Racism has not been diminished but intensified by this Corona 19. In
Australia, a local person assaulted a Korean, saying, "Don't carry Corona 19
around." In addition, as soon as she heard that men's nationality is Korea, she
cursed and used violence. The police were dispatched, but they only cleared up
the situation and did not impose any punishment to her. In Washington, some
protesters set fire near the juvenile detention center and punctured the Seattle
police building. Police called it a riot and used self-defense spray to suppress
the protesters. In Portland, police detonated tear gas when protesters entered
the court. The protests have continued in many cities and the number of deaths
and injuries has been increasing.
-Recently, the 'black out Tuesday' campaign has been spreading around the
world. Online communities and social networks are joining the movement,
including famous stars. Black out Tuesday means a campaign came from
Minneapolis, Minnesota and aimed at remembrance. Although there were
numerous witnesses at the time, the white police have seemed to ignore the
protests with the slogan appealing that they could not breathe because of the
neck squeeze on their knees and hard pressure. At that time, the police's
hard-line crackdown was filmed on smartphones by numerous witnesses and
many citizens were outraged to see a black man begging the police. But this
racist act was repeated every time, and furious U.S. citizens took over the
streets.
-"Black Lives Matter" is a slogan that appeared eight years ago, meaning that
black people's lives are also precious. In 2012, a 17-year-old black boy got into a
fight with a police on his way home after meeting his father in Florida. During
the process, the boy was shot to death by the police. When the police were
found not guilty in 2013, they posted ‘#Black lives matter’ on the online
communities as a protest. Hashtag further meant a social movement against
violence and racism against blacks.
-In order to oppose racial discrimination, the photo was inserted in the center
with a wish to create a society where people who have various colors in skin
live in harmony each other without discrimination. Initially, hashtags were used
to give the same effect as those used on social networks by inserting the phrase
'black lives matter' made by white police in the murder of a black man. The
phrase below says that we should literally tell people that ‘all life matters’ and
all life is important. It is very impressive for me so I inserted it.

This video shows that black people are making great efforts to respect their
human rights. Apartheid laws exist, but the sacrifices of black people will
continue. People of all ages and sexes are voicing their opposition to racial
discrimination.
