Is it really unthinkable?


What we can see in the video of Alicia Keys “Unthinkable” is very clear. First of all, the situation that is shown is about when some “white” person likes another but of dark skin. Then it´s quite hateful to see that situation in a musical video. However, we should understand the context and the country of course in which this situation is having place. It´s not a secret that this condition is in the United States, where exists kind of an idea of color or race superiority about other skins´ tones. The video continues playing and we realize that all uncomfortable standing is not about some decades ago, it also continues happening in that country. It seems to be a problem not only for some years, but it´s still happening nowadays.
I think that the most awful part is when the dark skin women appeared in the supermarket; by the same time there is a white guy whose appearance is really good. At the end of the shelf both of them came across and change looks, but the cashier sees that situation as something really serious. Then another problem appeared, the brother of the dark skin girl hits the white guy trying to protect her. Here there is an important point because in the United States the majority of the cities have special neighborhoods for the black people as they call them.
I actually don´t understand what really happens with those people, for me all of us are equal, we have the same capabilities to do things and to think. It´s important to give importance to the African American people who have done some really special things in order to give the society an environment of peace and better coexistence. The point is not only judge people by his or her color, what really matters is what any person can contribute to the others, because at the end the human being have to look for the happiness. I agree with the people or authors whose proposals were against racism, I think it´s important to give the place black people deserve. And also by the constantly changing times it´s an improvement to recognize that situation, it shows us that some part of the society is starting to change that close mind to become it in an open mind, that little change in the concept of the racism could bring us better times and relations in this globalized world.
