Once upon a time, in the beautiful city of Barcelona, there lived a young man named Jamal. Jamal was a black man who had moved to Spain from Nigeria with his family when he was just a little boy. He grew up in Spain, embraced the culture, and considered it his home. However, the one thing he struggled with was the racism he faced on a daily basis.

Despite his best efforts to integrate and be accepted in society, Jamal often found himself a target of discrimination and prejudice. Whether it was at work, on the streets, or even in a simple store, he could never escape the harsh reality of racism.

One bright sunny day, Jamal decided to visit a Chinese store to buy some basic necessities for his home. As he entered the store, he could feel the eyes of the store owner and other customers on him. Ignoring the stares, he started to browse around the aisles, looking for the items he needed.

Suddenly, the store owner, a middle-aged Chinese man, approached Jamal with a suspicious look on his face. "You! You thief! You steal from my store!" the man shouted loudly, pointing an accusing finger at Jamal.

Jamal was taken aback by the sudden accusation. "What? No, sir, I haven't stolen anything. I'm just here to buy some things," he protested, trying to reason with the angry store owner.

But the man would not listen. He grabbed Jamal by the arm and dragged him to the front of the store, where he began to strip off Jamal's clothes in front of everyone. Humiliated and in shock, Jamal pleaded with the man to stop, but his cries fell on deaf ears.

As Jamal stood there, bare-chested and exposed, the store owner continued to berate him, calling him names and accusing him of being a criminal. Tears welled up in Jamal's eyes as he felt the weight of the racism and injustice pressing down on him.

Just then, the police arrived at the scene in response to a call from the store owner. But to Jamal's dismay, they seemed indifferent to his plight. They spoke to the store owner briefly, took a cursory look around, and then left without taking any action.

Feeling defeated and utterly demoralized, Jamal quickly put his clothes back on and left the store, his heart heavy with anger and hurt. He couldn't understand why he was being targeted like this, why he was being treated as less than human simply because of the color of his skin.

As he walked back to his apartment, Jamal thought about the racism he had faced in Spain and how it seemed to follow him wherever he went. But despite the pain and injustice he had experienced, he refused to let it define him. He knew that he was a strong, resilient individual who deserved to be treated with respect and dignity, just like anyone else.

And so, with a newfound determination in his heart, Jamal vowed to speak out against racism and discrimination, to stand up for himself and others who faced similar struggles. He knew that change wouldn't come overnight, but he was willing to fight for a better, more inclusive society where everyone could live in peace and harmony, regardless of their race or background.

And with that noble purpose driving him forward, Jamal continued to navigate the challenges of racism in Spain, knowing that one day, he would overcome them and emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before. For he was not just a victim of racism, but a survivor, a warrior, a beacon of hope for a better tomorrow.

But even though he wanted a better tomorrow for everyone who looks like him Jamal was just a 16 year old boy who was struggling to finish school so there was obviously nothing he could do but he promised to be famous and bring more awareness about racism that goes on in Spain because we were things Spaniards are not so racist but actually that the most racist part of the world.
