The case of racism involving striker Vinícius Júnior, in Spain, continues to reverberate in Brazil. The player of Real Madrid-ESP is created from the base categories of the Flamengo.
The steering wheel of the red-black Gerson used social networks to defend Vinícius Júnior.
“What they want is to diminish the achievements, accomplishments and who we have become. They got used to doing this for years and years, but now we have our representatives at high levels. Not the amount they deserve, but we are the few who make noise. And we will continue like this “, Gerson began.
“Black people are uncomfortable when they are in the highest place. What they want is for us to be eternal debtors of favors. For us to accept the handouts they have always given us and for us to say amen.
Don’t shut up, Vini Jr. Don’t let racists bring you down. Today you have the possibility of changing the lives of many black people who cannot and are afraid to take the attitude you are taking.
Hashtags, banners and texts on social networks do not change anyone’s life and do not even put racists in their rightful place: in jail. As long as those who decide the lives of black people are not people like us, we will continue to live the farce that the world evolved on racism and discrimination”, concluded the Flamengo player on his Instagram.
