This posting has been made due to the complaint by my mixed black kids whenever they hear the society calling them with the term - "negro".
It is so saddened but I always insist them to let the frustration and the anger go but in the same time its worrying me if that situation could be a disturbance to the mental and emotion, specially when they mix around with local people.
Hereby let us share some knowledge to everyone whom might visit and read my blog.
Dear friends,
The word "Negro" being objected because it was associated with the long history of SLAVERY, SEGREGATION and DISCRIMINATION - treated African Americans as second class citizens, or worse.
By reading this post, we really hope those who has understood and clear about this issue can "walk together" with us in this battle. The battle to spread awareness and to increase the sensitivity among races. We really hope, all parents in the society will raise their children to be the civilize and high mentality standard children for the sake of their future, Raise and educate our children not to mock and humiliate black/African people that they see in our society nowadays.
We are not either selfish or demanding beyond our rights but we are appealing for a positive surrounding so that our mix black children can live happy and healthy just the way local children is enjoying their childhood here in Malaysia.
"Malcolm X referred "black" to "negro", but also started using the term "Afro-American" after leaving the Nation of Islam".That is if we refer the term to the American "black". How about Malaysian born mix Asian black kids which I am happy to refer them as Afro-Asian kids.
This is some tips that society can apply following their part:
1) AFRO ASIAN MOMMIES,
Let us be positive to help our kids grows happily. Teach them how to be proud of who they're let them believe that black is beautiful. Make them calm an take the meaning of "negro" as not as bad than just ordinary "black" which something common like other colors in the rainbow.
Black itself sound strong and tough what, keep calm - we're afro-asian lol 😝
2) OTHER PARENTS
It's good if parents in Malaysia beyond races and religions can be able to educate their kids from small to avoid themselves from using any for of words or behavior that might have racist and discrimination act.

Unfortunately, what normally happen is, our little ones learned from their seniors. They practice what they hear, see and taught.
We are still worst in the sentiment of racist, not only towards African or other third world country foreign comers. Malaysian are still a bit racist towards each other (among Malaysian local races)
It would be nice if we can help each other to fix this situation in our country right?
I'm pretty sure that we all wanted the best for our kids. I fight this not only for the sake of Afro-Asians but to everyone here, in Malaysia.

Together we create a positive surrounding for the sake of our future.
Our children.
It's ok if we can change it completely, if we at least can increase the understanding between us. It is good enough. Slowly towards the better is better then act nothing.

"Call them African instead of Negro.More acceptable"
We really hope, teachers in Malaysia will be more sensitive and play their roles very well in order to educate Malaysian students from their preschool age to respect every races, religions and cultures. Doesn't matter if there's only 1 minority student in the class, he/she need to be respected. They must quickly take any precaution act when they detected any form of bully that might related to racism act among multiracial students at school (eg: mock calling any student using their offensive terms like "negro")
"We need great educators to create the educated students"
With a good understanding and the cooperation from the school administration, we can also create a positive place and surrounding for the students to grow and learn.
4) COMMUNITY
We are the community, the power (to control) is in our hands. Do better be better, For sure we can control the situation. When we manage to control the situation, the rest would be fine. Nothing wrong by showing a good deeds. Just make sure rise our children by giving them good knowledge. Respecting others apart of their race, religion, citizenship and things like that is a noble act.
