Nowadays, there are still many types of discrimination between people and among them there is racism. Racism happens when someone belittles, insults, hits or even thinks he is better than someone else just because of his skin colour. Unfortunately, racism still exists.

Moreover, recently, because of the murder of George Floyd in the USA, many people in that country, and later all over the world, have taken to the streets to protest under the slogan of "black lives matter". What happened is that this unarmed Black man was crushed by a policeman, making George unable to breathe and dying terribly on May 25. In addition, a video of Mr. Floyd saying his last words "I can't breathe" has become very famous and thanks to social networks has gone viral.

On the other hand, talking about the demostrations, hundreds and thousands of people came out to protest in the streets. The intention was to make a kind of call to the government and especially to President Trump. After this, other countries followed this initiative. However, as we all know, we are in a complicated situation because of the coronavirus, so in this protest the social networks have been the most used means to transmit the message. Besides, during these days, social networks such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram have been filled with phrases and images such as "black lives matter".

As a conclusion, racism still exists today and we must try to eliminate it all together. In my opinion, demostrations are a good thing as long as violence is not used.
