Los Angeles (AP) – athletics legend Michael Johnson has questioned in the debate of the whole System in the United States and criticized.
“My biggest concern is that the whole discussion is now only about personal racism,” said the four-time Olympic champion “laureus.com”.
The 52-year-old American stressed that it was important, the resentment of small groups to eliminate white racists against black people. The biggest Problem was, however, “that there is a System that supports such a thing. The people are allowed to have such a setting and so comfortable.”
Johnson criticized the inequality in institutions, the result is that a white police officer think that he could attack a black man, or even kill without consequences. It should also be that businesses would sell their products in Black, but not dark-skinned people in their boards of Directors have.
“people can go on the road, because the System promises in this country of Fairness and equality for everyone and the American dream that anyone can achieve something. But in reality, this System is not made for equality for everyone,” said Johnson. “The System was built by white people for white people in a time in which black people are not equal to one were considered, and it still exists.”
Johnson, who dominated in the 1990s, over 200 and 400 meters in track and field and four times world champion in the series has been looked forward in the context of the Olympic games in 2028 in Los Angeles: “I can only hope that things either significantly changed or that we are talking still about it and see it as a Problem, to perceive as it is now.”
