"Some of you are the biggest stars and yet in the midst of this injustice you don’t say a word. From my white-dominated sport, I didn’t detect any loopholes from anyone. I am one of the few blacks and I am completely alone here. I thought it was clear to you why this was happening and that you were going to say something. But you just can’t put yourself on our side. I know very well who you are and I see youHe wrote Hamilton.
The reason for these social tensions was the case from Minneapolis on May 25th, where George floyd, an unarmed black man, died in a clash with police officers. His death led to world protests against police violence in racism. Hamilton points out that this is not just an American problem. “Here is Great Britain, Spain, Italy. This is happening everywhere. The way minorities are treated needs to change." British believes that people should be better educated to understand. “We are all the same. We are not born with racism and hatred in our hearts. This is taught to us by those we follow."
