Video ARROYOS IN BARRANQUILLA

http://youtu.be/soL3Fu_SxSY

It shows a possitive appropiation of the culture where thais practice a lot of things that mexican gangsters do, but they just appreciate their aesthetic and don't take into account the negative aspects that include dealing in illicit drugs and some stuff that affects any behavior.

Something that is important to say is that the culture we identificate with, is not always the same we born in, I mean that it is known that the country where people born has a determinated culture, but people, like those thais that like and practice mexican gangster culture should not be judged arguing they appropiate their culture in a bad way and that they do not have any idea of what it really means.

I think all of us have the right to expres what we like without complaining.

In that video we can see how afrocolombians are discriminated in the country. This is a very sad side of Colombia because we have diversity and a lot of people who always bring their help to others, but this behavior shows that an important number of colombians does not have culture and also are racist.

Racism affects huge groups of afrocolombians in a lot of aspects, some of the examples are the fact that jobs for them are very difficult to get; afrocolombian kids dies easier than the other ones; majority of them doesn't get education. We have to fight against discrimination in order to get a better society in which all people can have the same oportunities and black and white skins have equal status
