Artist Gian Luca Ewbank, 32, brother of actress Giovanna Ewbank, 35, shared a text on his Instagram this Monday (1st) about the racist attack suffered by his nephews Titi and Bless, while the family was at a restaurant in Portugal.
“Society places the burden of racism on the shoulders of blacks and indigenous people. It’s as if they had to teach, explain and solve the crime created by us. The truth is that racism is our problem, a white problem,” he wrote. .
He goes on to say that the problem lies with “our ancestors and the terrible history we insist on ignoring”, and that many still glorify colonization. “The fact is that racism lives on and is intrinsic to white people. It’s our responsibility. It’s past time to resolve the inexplicable. It’s the bare minimum.”
“We have an obligation to learn, change and teach. Whether in words, spitting or slapping. It is always good to remember: ‘In a racist society, it is not enough not to be racist. It is necessary to be anti-racist'”, concluded the artist, quoting the writer. Angela Davis.
On Saturday (30), the couple’s children, Titi and Bless, were offended by a regular at the establishment located on a beach. The woman reportedly called the children “filthy niggers” and said that they and another family of blacks who were in the place should return to Africa.
The actress went to get satisfaction and Bruno Gagliasso, 40, appears standing next to the woman as she argues with the aggressor. The video of the riot went viral on the internet.
