"Go Back Home" is a racist daily

By Morak Babajide-Alabi

Reactions on tweets from US President of America, Donald Trump, have urged four US lawmakers to return to their "country-of-origin infested with crime." There was no reason for intervention in the reactions – you are against his choice of words or you totally support it. The reactionary tendencies showed a troubling trend, as notable personalities who should know better did not see anything wrong with the president's choice of words.

As you can imagine, his Republican compatriots show his support and some top politicians have publicly stated that he was right in denouncing the four legislators. It is not surprising that some politicians outside the United States do not evaluate tweets directly. The two British Conservative leadership candidates, Jeremy Hunt and Boris Johnson, have so far diverted questions about it.

Trump had partly tweeted: "So interesting to see" progressive "Democrat women from countries where governments are a complete and total disaster, the worst, most corrupt and most inept in the world (even though they have a government at all) now strong … "

"… And let's talk fiercely to the people of the United States, the largest and most powerful country in the world, how our government should be governed. Why do not they return to help repair the totally devastated and infested places by the crime of which they originate? So come back and show us how …

These tweets have once again opened the debate on racism and the role of leaders in strengthening the law. It is disappointing to note, but racism remains a common practice in a world that is developing daily in all other areas. Race relations continued to be a major drawback for the seemingly significant progress made in the fields of technology, economics, and so on.

From Europe to the Americas, racism is still prevalent. People of color are daily harbaded and abused by racists who abound in all places. And where there is no overt appeal, Blacks, Asians are institutionally biased to be subject to racial discrimination. Indeed, the practice is conbad in some societies and the citizens grow up with it. Racism is allowed to infect when people in the corridors of power are the main racists – by their words and actions. They present impressive public statements about the seriousness of racism, but their private words and deeds are devoid of reality.

Trump's tweet is no surprise to political supporters. Based on his background, he has never hidden his loyalty to the base of extreme white nationalists. From the beginning of the election campaign, Trump reported that he was on a mission to give America back to whites. Since his election and taking office, the President has made it clear that he has sided with these racist elements. His supporters like it because they see a leader whom they could identify with. Its unpredictability had seduced more white Americans who wanted "America to become big again". It's shameful as he explores the divisions of a country that he chairs for selfish reasons.

Many people are scandalized not by the content of tweets but by the fact that the agenda of racism is defined by the president. The convictions focus on the not-so-presidential behavior of Trump, who has always refused to play above petty politics. His "against us" speeches continued to describe him as far from being a statesman. Surprisingly, he is not baffled by these reactions, but he uses them as a stepping stone towards realizing his bid for reelection.

It would be a catastrophic mistake to think that Trump is the only "racist elephant in the room". Trump is simply the vehement and unscrupulous leader who is uneducated to think about restrictions in his public racial comments. But with a little badysis of the behaviors and thought patterns of some world leaders, it would not be surprising to identify the similarities with those of Trump.

It is not only in politics that leaders tackle racism. They abound in every aspect of society. It is unfortunate that in our modern age we have not yet emerged from this despicable act of racism. We remember the racist tweet from Danny Baker, the BBC's presenter on the radio. He had at the time of birth the baby royal Meghan Markle, and Prince Harry tweeted the picture of a white couple coming out of the hospital with a baboon dressed up.

Danny is just an individual in the corner of the world. He probably hates blacks with pbadion and saw in the birth of the royal baby an opportunity to launch a stroke against the race. Individuals such as Baker and Trump exist in considerable numbers in society. They care less about any political correction, because they could not control their inner thoughts to check. For blacks in the United States, the United Kingdom and elsewhere, that's what they go through every day of their lives. Trump is just one of the many white racists who still believe that black people are strolling in their pants.

Do you know how many people of color are called each day and advised to return to their country? The calls may not be vocal, but they are received via email, SMS, body language, refusal during an interview, and so on. They are met in the street, on a bus, at work, in a school, etc. It does not matter. if you are born in the country or not, but as long as your skin is not white, it is presumed that you have an ancestral home to which you may be publicly advised to return at any time. It is shameful, it is the least that can be said.

I smile when I meet racists who try to suppress their feelings. This is not usually a pleasant task for them because once they opened their mouths, we could see the struggle between being politically correct and what they really were. Hate comes instinctively. When they do not speak, you can feel the fire of racism in their eyes and their bodies.

It's easy to understand why countries are paying lip service to changing racist rhetoric. Leaders who should be at the forefront of the campaign to eradicate this practice are indirectly promoting it. Do not be fooled by the laws and policies published every day advocating racial equality and multiculturalism. They only exist on papers while nothing is done to implement them.

After watching BBC documentary Windrush's The Unwanted: The Secret Windrush Files, I realize that Trump did not do the right thing. This is on the scale of what the documentary revealed about British leaders in the genesis of the Windrush migration. Presented by award-winning historian David Olusoga, he "opens government secret files to show how the Windrush scandal and the" hostile "environment for British black immigrants have been preparing for 70 years."

It was a documentary that revealed the hypocrisy of British leaders who were trying to get the most people of color out of the country so they would not lose their "Briticity".

I leave my case recommending you to look for this documentary on YOUTUBE or to consult the BBC iPlayer and you will understand that the tweets of Trump are not irrelevant.
