The Danish article, Signe, Camilla and Marko, 10.F

The text is about a guy named Jacob Holt he travelled in the USA since he was 24 years old. He experienced how the racism was in the USA. He always had he's camera and showed people around the world photos of the people in the USA, and the way they treated black people. He donated he's own blod so he could get money to travel around the USA. He was a white man, and he drove into a gloomey part of town, and he met to black guys who threaten him with a gun in his stomach. That was a "wake up" call for Jacob Holt. He wants people to open their eyes and see that we are all people with different colours. Now he is a anti-racist. Once jacob stepped by a ghetto and he met a little black girl, and the first thing she said when she saw him was " mommy its a dane" and jacob thought it was a big problem that we have made such a big distance between each other.
