My dream is that one day my four children will live in a country where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their personality. I have a dream now!” This is just a fragment of the speech and Martin Luther King in August 1963, during the March on Washington for jobs and freedom, and which would become the most important manifesto in favor of civil rights. 60 years later, if Luther King looks back, he will likely be dismayed at how little progress our society has made on the path he himself helped blaze. This week there is nothing to talk about except last Sunday’s incidents at the Mestalla, where the R.Madrid footballer is at the center of all the discussions. And if we think about it, how different is the situation that existed at that time Luther king and the present?

And I don’t remember anyone doing anything about it; As if blaming the referee is part of fan behavior on a football field; almost as natural as grabbing popcorn at the movies. We screamed to heaven because a footballer was called I don’t know what -unfortunate-, but at least what the braids have always endured. What happens, that the protection we demand for some cannot be extended to others? Isn’t this another form of discrimination? The fact that we repeatedly accept it as normal does not legitimize it.
