Raheem Sterling Says “Now Is The Time To Act Against Racism”

The Black Lives Matter protests have also brought up a debate about the lack of black coaches and managers within British sports, mostly football.

Raheem Sterling said that black people are “tired” and are looking forward to seeing meaningful action in the direction of bringing black people at the corridors of power.

“I feel like I speak for most black people, everyone is tired. With the protesting that is going on you see what is happening in America transferring to the UK,” Manchester City star Sterling told Sky Sports.

“A lot of people have been in silence and is using this opportunity as a moment to be one and try to get not just answers but changes to society.

“It is something that is coming up a lot more which is a good thing. I truly do believe that now is the time that we have to act. I am doing my bit behind the scenes.”

Sterling’s latest statement follows a day after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a government review into “all aspects of inequality” following a wave of anti-racism protests in the UK.
