An Article written by Kolongs Victor – Racial Equality

For a better insight into the above caption, we need to pay a visit to the keyword which is racism, so as to have a better grasp of the concept under review.

Racism is a social segregation, stigmatization and hatred based on one's lineage and descent. It's a negative division that plagues global community which tears humanity aparts. Examples are anti-Semitism which is a racism against the Jews, Apartheid which is racism against blacks in South Africa, and racism against blacks in America. Racism in action has enormous consequences, and has so far impacted negatively on global integration and the advantages that accrue from it there of, hence a social crusade against it. This results in anti-racism campaign which discourages racism and emphasizes racial equality and tolerance.

However, this discourse majorly seeks to chart a course aim at enthroning racial equality and tolerance among Chequered global societies.

DENUNCIATION OF RACISM

Racism is evil, and all people of good conscience should lend their voice in denouncing it. In doing this however, the following posers are germane, viz:

- Aren't all humans from a common lineage or descent?

- Can anybody or society live as an island?

- Is any nation self sufficient?

- Beyond the surface of our skins, is't not obtainable the same blood, skeletal and physiological setting?

- Is the consequences worth it justification?

If no nation can live as an island

If nobody has monopoly of knowledge

If all humans have the same physiological setting

If all humans have a common descent

If racism is not worth it justification

Then it goes to say that racism has exposed the hypocrisy of human civilization, the absurdity of modern education, the paucity of common Sense and the mockery of logical reasoning.

RACIAL EQUALITY

The concept of racial equality seeks the elimination of racism and enthronement of mutual respect and recognition. It also seeks to dissolve all barriers that put us asunder and unify the global community for a peaceful and progressive world. This is because humanity has learnt a bitter lesson from racism, as seen in Nazi Germany, Apartheid South Africa, and American racial segregation.

THE NEED FOR RACIAL EQUALITY

As posited earlier, socities are interdependent, because they are variously endowed. This calls for greater needs of ties among them so as to boost global peace and prosperity.

HOW TO ACHIEVE RACIAL EQUALITY

Racial equality can be achieved through a number of ways, amongst which are:

- Global Anti-racism campaign

- Sanctioning of racist individuals and governments

- Awarding Nobel prize for racial tolerance and exemplary conducts

-Increase in interstates ties and interdependency

-Exposure to other's culture and territory by encouraging interstates movements

-Racial equality education in schools

CONCLUSION

Racial equality is an attainable goal, only if all hands will be on deck so as to drive home our mission. But for that to be in place, it must occupy the center of our policies by setting it as a global agenda by all stakeholders!
