Racism in Colombia

As we know Colombia is a multicultural country. There are many subcultures inside Colombian culture. One of this subcultures and one of the most important is the Afro-colombian people. According to the Dane 10% of the Colombian population is descendant from the slaves that came 400 years ago from Africa. The slaves were forced to work in agriculture and construction of the new empire. Slaves suffered abused from the Spaniards. Bit by bit afros escaped and stopped the slavery. Although this happened long time ago we still live in a society that suffers this problem called racism. Racism happens when afro-colombian people doesn't have the same opportunities than the rest of the Colombians. I think that everyone should have the same opportunities and facilities because Colombia is a free country and we must live together in peace.
