The country of India does not trust China. Are they westerners?
Their population is bigger than the EU, US, & Canada combined, the “West”.
They are a BRICS nation, aren't they?
Should the country of India be kicked out of BRICS?

They do not honor the history of their families and the struggle of our common ancestors for the end of slavery, social inequalities, imperialism, for the end of HUNGER in our America.
Mar 07th, 2024 - 02:21 pm - Link - Report abuse -3In 500 years of common history with the West, our people have only received insults, coups and espionage. Our people didn't even have access to fairer trade with you Westerners. And nothing we have done or will do will change this reality with the West.
The time for divorce has come. For the first time in 500 years we have the opportunity to get a small place in the sun where we can give our people a dignified life. Where it is no longer necessary to humiliate ourselves at your borders, where we are treated like bandits, where arrogance and racism are spit in our faces.
Follow your course, Westerners. We are following ours.

‘On May 13th 1888, Brazil became the last nation in the Western Hemisphere to formally abolish slavery. One-hundred and twenty years later, it is estimated that 25,000 to 40,000 workers are still victims of conditions analogous to slavery in this South American country.’
Slavery continues to this day. Including in the West. Maybe the BBC should make a documentary about this.
