Can hippopotamuses speak?

Dr.Suryaraju Mattimalla


“I am shouting and shouting against racism.
I am speaking and speaking against racism
I am writing against racism.
Every word of mine is against racism.
Every sentence of mine is against racism.
Every breath of my life is against racism.
But the racist community never changed its beliefs.
That blacks and gypsis are humans
that we are humans.
that we are humans.
that we are humans.
just like them, but
their stereotypes
their taboos
Their dogmas are inhumane from birth to death.”

Hippopotamus is the derogatory name for blacks and Africans in the United States of America among white community. We have different derogatory names for the most persecuted castes and communities across the globe. For example, untouchable castes are called dirty, unclean, impure, pig, fox, crow, buffalo, ox, snake, beet eaters, scavengers, Madigas, Chamars, evils, devils, unseeables, unshadowbles, unshadowbles, etc. in Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Sikh, Jain, and Parse societies.
