This is a really powerful video of a busker name Melo defending himself against two drunkards in Glasgow, Scotland. Melo was being interviewed for the BBC documentary The Street, when Francis Muir and an unknown assailant begin berating him for being black and in their country. It’s people like this that make me sick. A man is spreading the joy of music with people and these two can’t get over the fact that he’s black, and why is one of these guys blurred out? He is the one throwing most of the punches.
The sad thing is that this was not an isolated attack, Melo says: “I am feeling sick. Since ’98 I have been abused every day. That’s why you feel like leaving. Where I will go? I don’t know. But I would be messing up everything because of other people, so no way – it’s not happening.” reported the daily record
Its amazing to see how strong this man can be after all these incidents. And for those harassing a man simply because of his skin colour… shame on you. Life isn’t about the colour of your skin, your occupation, or social status, it is about sharing the joy, happiness and love.
