OH MY G.... if that doesnt make you think? English Translation: Before seeing this picture of #Balotelli crying, now circulating in social networks in a mocking tone, who knew that he donates 50% of his salary to poor children in Africa? -Who knew that he had a difficult childhood in the midst of racial humiliation in Italy? -Who knew that his parents - Ghanaian immigrants and workers in a mine -- had to give him up for adoption when Mario was 2 years old, because they could not afford the medications for an intestinal illness that took him to the brink of death? -Who knew that he does social work in prisons? -Who knew that he participates in programmes for anti-bullying in schools? -Who knew that the tears in those photos were from seeing his adoptive mother weeping in the stands of a stadium, because they threw bananas at him, called him ape, and had posters saying: dirty negro and there are no black Italians? Did you know it? Not me. But now I know that this World Cup fever, is the reflection of a world full of prejudices that today unjustly imposed on a 21 yr old player, black, who committed the sin of saying that he did not know any Costa Rican players personally, but would like to learn about Costa Rica and its beaches.
