“Anti Racism Movement” Established In Lebanon , Secretly Shooting Videos Of Abusers

(If you don’t feel like reading right now, go straight to the video)

As a white man who lives in a majority black country, I know what it feels like to be discriminated against because of skin color. This is why I’m always happy whenever I read about Lebanese acting against racism.

The newly established anti racism movement is up to a promising start. In a stunt, they used the help of a dark skinned activist disguised as a maid, and took a video of a resort security man not allowing the maid into a pool.

They’re planning even more action:

We have monitored more than 15 resorts that follow the same traditions and practices of racism against non-whites in Lebanon, reminiscent of the era of apartheid in South Africa, blatant racism in the United States,” said the campaign’s spokesperson at IndyACT, Aimee Razanjay. “The action today is the beginning of a series similar actions to monitor and document such practices and to inform the Lebanese society of the extent of their contribution to perpetuating the racist system in Lebanon,” added Aimee.
