Abstract

This study investigated the impact of racism and discrimination on Black lives in foreign countries, with a case study of George Floyd. This study aims to analyze the influence of Black Lives Matter on the international conversation about racism and to learn more about the experiences of Black people in other nations and to understand the structural aspects of race discrimination. This study used ex post facto research design, documentary method of data collection, and content method of data analysis which was based on critical race theory proposed by Delgado and Stefancic (2017). The study revealed the following findings: systemic racism exists in foreign countries that can be experienced by blacks in the form of police brutality, institutional exclusion and social marginalization. Although the human rights laws are in place and there are international campaigns to end racism, the reality is that it still exists, and this is because of deeply rooted structural inequalities. Governments should strengthen anti-discrimination policies and international organizations should give more visibility to the voice of Blacks in international policy dialogue. In the aftermath of George Floyd's death and the Black Lives Matter movement, racism and discrimination have become a common topic.Racism and discrimination have been a frequent subject of discussion since the death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement.
