"Racism will never end if we still use white for the wedding and black for the funeral."

Bushiri also questioned the use of the word "blacklisted" to ostracise a person instead of "whitelisted." As he said all this, both his white and black members laughed.

Little girl wants to end racism

Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a nine-year-old girl identified as Emi Kim was on a mission to end racism by placing more diverse books that feature people of colour in libraries.

Emi and her family came up with the book idea and the little girl believes that people will get to understand one another better.
