107 years ago, Theodore Roosevelt invited to dinner at the White House to an influential teacher. The press put the fuss, and crossed the summit as a provocation: with dinner for Booker T. Washington, Roosevelt had just issued the first official invitation to the executive mansion to a black and no other African-American was invited to the White House in the next 30 years. Today, all those ignorant would faint when you open any newspaper.
In the early 50's, a young woman named Sarah Bond looking for accommodation in Washington DC. All hotels found the same answer: no room for blacks. Twenty years later, after recording the disc, Sarah gave a concert before a select group of guests and a man asked for permission to dance with her. That concert took place in the White House and the man was President Johnson. Those ignorant that he was denied a room 20 years ago died of envy in that moment.
past weekend, a rapper whose name I will remember you took the microphone to a white artist of 19 years and number 6 on the U.S. charts to tell him his award-winning video for the women was fine, but the music video for Beyoncé was better. Minutes later, after receiving the MTV Award Best Music Video of the Year at Radio City Music Hall in New York, the singer Beyoncé gave his moment of glory to the white girl of 19 years so he could enjoy the applause that he had been denied. He had already left ignorant the room to throw up their own shame.
This afternoon I had to hear of your mouth that you and I have no chance because I like reggaeton. In seconds you'll realize the historical dimension of your error.
