I'm not here to justify myself. Whoever I had to talk to and apologize to, I have already justified myself. And what I needed to do to actually be an antiracist person and correct my actions, I have already done.
Luisa Sonza
Sonza said he acknowledged his mistake and took an antiracist stance. “I opened a restaurant, I invest in several projects, I include it in my life, but I don't reveal it. I’m trying to learn to be the most correct in this place.”
It took a while for him to understand his responsibilities as a white person. “We are trapped in a very problematic structure in which we have to fight and do our utmost to put it right. We need to look at ourselves and see what’s wrong with us.”
This is what I can do. I don't want to go into detail because it involves a different person and it is a very sensitive topic. It's about admitting the mistake, being aware of it, and making white people aware that they take it seriously.
He explained what had happened. “I was asked to sing in a restaurant in Fernando de Noronha. As I was singing, I turned around, asked for a glass of water and started singing again.” Sonza passed the order to a black woman who didn't work there.
