Racial Equality – An article written by Omar Nasser

RACIAL EQUALITY

Historically, this is one issue that 

occupies most minds, and is the 

dream of every consciencious human being wishing for makind's 

survival and continuum on Mother 

Earth. Most constitutions echo its 

importance to national cohesion, 

unity and uniform progress of nations stressing the Bill of Rights,

the protection of Human Rights, the

rights of minority groups, children,

women and the disabled. The United Nations articulates, elaborates and stresses Racial Equality everywhere, 

to solidify and assure social, economic, pulitical and cultural justice across the globe. 

That wherever human beings  live, all

must enjoy equal rights under the 

law with  access to shelter, food, clean water, education, health, the sanctity of life, the right to property, security and personal safety without regard to colour, religion, creeds, 

race, ethics and other biases. For ages the world has learned bitter 

lessons from the volatility of Racial Equality. Which is, often fragile and is not limited to one locality, society, community, nation, or continent.

Racial equality is a rallying call everywhere iniquities are in practice, and

myriads have suffered in the deadly

shadows of racism, tribalism, bigotry,

nepotism, all forms of discrimination,

and segregation often culminating in 

devastating Xenophobia. 

The advent of Adolf Hitler, Nazism, 

fashism of Bonito Mussolini and the

and anti-semitic passion in Germany,

and hatred of Jews etc., poisoned 

the many minds, so was Apartheid 

South Africa which produced Nelson 

Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi, both 

fighters for South African Ingigenous

Africans and Indian right respectively

agaist white supremacists. The Clan 

Cults, likes the (Ku-Klux-Klan) in the

US, and discrimination against the 

blacks and indigenous peoples gave 

birth to Martin Luther King, who indefatgably struggled for equal rights, till

his assassination, down to the caste 

system in  India, besides atrocities of 

the colonialists in Africa and elsewhere inculcating the doctrine of divide 

and rule, our world has never been the same.

In the United States bad blood between blacks and whites is still on and off with frequent violence and deaths with the police on the spot for ruthlessly executing innocent blacks, and has culminated into wide-spread street protests across several states. 

An issue that constantly puts innocent humans at cross-roads with ground reality. For not enough is being done to correct a highly inflammable situation that needs more than empty rhetoric to solve. 

And as the situation gets worse in 

highly competitive, selfish, monopolistic scenarios where nations furtively undermine one another, competing for markets, natural resources, 

and strategic minerals to exploit,

each seeking domination over the 

others,and the simple folk are caught in rhe crossfire, Racial Equality 

within nations, and between people

all over becomes the bedrock for sustainable peace and stability everywhere. And, yes, though charity begins at home, we all, wherever we are, 

deserve happiness which can only be derived from the values and virtues of peace, equity, equality, trust, honesty and Human Rights. Where

Racial Equality is the quintessence 

of the wellbeing and welfare of HUMANITY  AND FRATERNITY!
