LEWIS IN THE WRONG RACE

What happened in Barcelona, Spain during the F1 off-season testing was the most shocking case of racial abuse in recent times.
Lewis Hamilton the worlds first Black Formula one driver was racially abused by the Spanish crowd . The reason being Lewis ,in his debut season ,out performed his team mate Fernando Alonso who happens to be of Spanish origin and more importantly a white.
Lewis Hamilton is a resident of Britain and he entered the world of F1 in the2007 season . He became the first F1 driver to have a podium finish in each of his first nine races and missed the championship title by single point finishing second ,behind Kimi and in front of Alonso. It is truly disheartening that a skilled and an excellent racer like Hamilton who impressed the likes of Ron Dennis (the Mclaren boss) and Sir Frank Williams should be looked down upon just because he belongs to another race
This show the general white mentality of racial superiority and their inability to see a human deeper than his skin. It is neither a one off incident nor is it a new phenomenon. From the times of Jesse Owens ,sports has always been plagued by this lack of racial tolerance and baseless racial pride. No sporting body can,however hard it tries, stop it as it is in the minds of the fans(or fanatics I may add) and just too deep rooted and too widespread .
The only solution is an awakening,a revolution of sorts, among the fans and the sportsmen alike , to strive for a world where people love and respect a sportsman for his skills and not for the colour of his skin
But all this remains a Utopian dream, or it shall be as long as our eyes see no deeper than the skin. For when we see deeper ,that's when we realise and appreciate the beauty of the soul .
I'll end this by respecting Hamilton's attitude as he kept mum about his reactions to this incident and avoided the media attention which he could have easily used for his advantage. By doing so he did good for his race ........no not the black race .........the human race
