“The world is racist. We have a lot to apologize for to the black race, and we still haven’t asked for their forgiveness.” – Guardiola

Manchester City head coach Josep Guardiola touched on the topic of racism and general inequality in the world.

– The world is racist. We are raised on the assumption that we are the best and others are a disaster. We are all descended from our ancestors who had to emigrate, who were welcomed in other countries, who started families and returned back.

We have something to apologize to the black race for what humanity has done to them for so many centuries! Not so long ago we had slavery. They were slaves. And we still haven’t asked for their forgiveness.

This is all a cultural issue that begins in schools and in the family circle, the educational process. We cannot think that we are better or worse than others. We are the same. I traveled a lot. I lived in Catalonia, I was in Italy, Mexico, Arab countries, here in England, I worked in Germany, and I tell you: we are equal.

The whole world is in big trouble. And if we don’t solve them… have you seen what’s going on in the Mediterranean? What happens to the boats that refugees board and that come from other countries and want to dock in Spain, Italy, Greece, and they are told “no, no, no” … and they throw them back into the sea?! The Mediterranean is a graveyard,” Guardiola said.
