Lockdown journal, day 102: #blacklivesmatter
2020 is relentless and instead of telling you in detail how do I feel right now, I will just share a video by Julie Nolke, which captures the essence of it.

Coming from an Eastern European country, I used to believe that this is only the problem of the USA due to the country's history. However, after spending some years abroad, I understand that the problem exists even where I am coming from. It might not be on the surface because not so many expats are living in my country and those who do - they do not assimilate due to the language barriers. They prefer to live within their community. Which is also a big red symptom.
The problem exists. Recently, I read an article by Michael Lints describing his trip to Baku, Azerbaijan among other things. His experience was completely different from what I used to think. It only proves that the problem is massive as well in East European block and Russia.
The problem is that we can easily stare, laugh or comment about something we are not used to see before, causing discomfort to the people. Â
I believe that in the 21st century where free online education is available to everyone, we can make the world comfortable and safe for those who struggle now. And the next step towards this should be done by each one of us.
