Racism: I'm ashamed of what white people did to blacks - Guardiola

Pep Guardiola Pep Guardiola

In reaction to the Black Lives Matter Protests against racism, Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has said that he's ashamed of what white people did to blacks.

Protests which started in Minessota over the brutal death of George Floyd have spread to other parts of the world with many calling for an end to racism.

Before a clash between Manchester City and Arsenal in the English Premier League, players of both clubs bent a knee to show solidarity with the protesters.

Expressing his stance on racism, Guardiola said: "White people should say sorry for the way we have treated black people for 400 years.

"We should send a thousand million messages for the black people. I'm embarrassed and ashamed of what the white people have done for the black people.

"How people can think they are different? All the gestures are good and positive. Everything we can do to make it conscious, it is not acceptable.

"We have to do a lot of things for the black people which we have not done so far."
