My Favorite things by Imani Williams 5p

Soccer players and Bananas. Does it get any better? The correct answer is no, no it doesn't. In the middle of a heart felt soccer game in Barcelona Spain. Crowds grew with intense support for each of their teams. Often the boundary of support and offensiveness towards the others were not clear. In one outburst, a crowd member threw a banana at a player as a type of racial slur to throw off his gam, but here's the good part. The player picks up the banana, took a bite, and chucks it away as though it were giving him strength! I love when people turn negatives into positives, but still, a banana can never be a negative! Although he brushes the insult off as though it were nothing, racism is still very much an instance here and across the globe. If racism and disparage are the only things we can think of to boost others and ourselves, this is nothing but a mirror of their brains and how closed minded and unproductive their thinking process is.

  1. This is not okay. But bananas are kinda good, soooo if anyone were to throw fried chicken at me, I would probably eat the chicken as I throw other things at them...
