I want to share with you my thoughts about the article which I’ve just read.

The prime ballet dancer from the American Ballet Theater accused Russian Bolshoy Theater in racism. She came with this thought because of the ballet dancers who were wearing black costumes in order to show the color of the skin. Maybe it was done for the play, but I’m sure that it wasn’t done on purpose to insult someone.

Actually, I see the point why Misty Copeland blames them in racism, but I think that this theme had gone beyond the norms. I started noticing how African American people see the meaning of racism almost in every thing that contains “black” color or so on.

I find this a little bit too much and I feel sad reading such posts and articles.

Please, let live in peace and understanding. We’re all equal and we have different colors of skin, so why we need to select someone because of this factor.
