West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has expressed his sadness over racism across the world. While the issue of racism has plagued the society for years, the killing of American-African man – George Floyd – under custody by a policeman in Minneapolis sparked outrage which turned into protests worldwide.&nbsp;

People, including high-profile sportspersons, have joined the Black Lives Matter movement in many parts of the world.&nbsp; 
While athletes including Lewis Hamilton, Anthony Joshua, Raheem Sterling, Chris Gayle, Daren Sammy among many others have voiced their opinion and disappointment on racism in the world of sports, Bravo has joined his colleagues in speaking up after Floyd’s death.

Bravo questioned why the black community has to be subjected to racism over and over again while adding they just want equality and respect. The Windies all-rounder, who plays for CSK in IPL, further urged people not to discriminate people as everyone deserve equality and respect.&nbsp;

We give respect to others. Why is it that we are facing this over and over?" Dwayne Bravo said during a conversation with former Zimbabwe cricketer Pommie Mbangwa on Instagram live.

And at the end of the day, you look at some of the greats of the world, whether it is Nelson Mandela, Mohammad Ali, Michael Jordan we have had leaders who paved the way for us. Now enough is enough. We just want equality. We don't want revenge, war. We just want respect. We share love and appreciate people for who they are. That's what is most important," the Windies all-rounder added.
