I mean a day where more races speak up for justice against one and another. Indeed, there is some form of miracle somewhere and somehow.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is among the world's popular news medias and I am moved being a woman of color by the measures taken against their top broadcaster, Jeremy Clarkson, whose show 'Top Gear' earned them millions and millions of views.
His suspension came following a fracas with one of the show's producers. It emerged that Mr. Clarkson had been involved in a row over catering while filming on location in the North of Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
The BBC announced through their website that the network would likely drop the remaining two episodes of the series as well in the wake of the incident, which allegedly involved Clarkson punching producer Oisin Tymon.
That is unexplainable how the matter has been taken very seriously to this extent.
Don't get me wrong in this post because I am not associated with any issues in mind for him.
There was a time when equality was just one big dream and of course, it still struggles to meet the broad daylight.
We have cases like Police officials torturing young men to death, teens are brutally beating unlawfully, an individual shot dead because of the colour of his skin makes him look suspicious as a criminal, all that is to do with race.
I can't remember I ever read what actions were taken for such act in terms of justice.
However, the journalist had a past record of racial controversies on his show, which BBC listed on on their webpage.
Last year October 2014, he and his crew had to abandon filming in Argentina amid angry protests over a car number plate that appears to refer to the Falklands War.
Another incidence took place before that in July of the same year , where Ofcom ruled a Burma Special in which Jeremy used a racial slur broke broadcasting rules. Clarkson had used the word "slope" as an Asian man crossed a newly built bridge over the River Kwai in Thailand.
In May 2014, the programme drew complaints when video footage leaked to the Daily Mirror appeared to show Mr. Clarkson using a racist term while reciting the nursery rhyme Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe. The presenter later apologised for the incident, which was never broadcast an he made a video statement where he begged forgiveness.
Back in October 2012, the BBC Trust ruled comments by Clarkson which likened the design of a camper van to people with facial disfigurements breached disability guidelines.
Also in January 2012, an Indian diplomats complained about a ninety (90) minutes India special in which a car fitted with a toilet in its boot is described by Clarkson as perfect for India because everyone who comes to the UK gets the trots.
And in February 2011, the BBC apologised to Mexico after he and his co-hosts characterised Mexicans as lazy and feckless.
They all sound harmless but as the Network's reputation is concerned, he broke all boundaries to punch his victom.
Just as stated above, I do not know this man and I don't intend to judge his character, nor do I aim to write against him.
My post highlights the ''Change' that we need, whether at work places, among communities, schools and in every aspect of our daily lives can be suppressed to take place, if only we give it a try.
For BBC to risk that much to gain equality, that makes me see a better future in a hundred years to come. Sure, it's never possible to have a 100%.
