Racial discrimination is one of the many forms of discriminations that are known to man kind but this type is one of the worst kinds because it involves the evil of man despising fellown man's race. This is a known fact that some white people have a tendency of discriminating against black people be it in sport, entertainment industry, fashion world, etc in the movie industry for example in USA and UK for a black man or woman to be given a leading role in a blockbuster movie project does not come so easy. In some companies you would find that black people are paid lower salaries than their white counterparts for the same job description and grade at the place of work. Some black people also hate the whites for no apparent reason and its bad. Racial discrimination is one terrible thing that can ever happen regardless of who the culprit is or who the victim is. We are all mankind created by God and in his eyes a black man is just as much human as a white man. For things that are divinely ordained like skin colour and nation of birth, we really must not toss each other around by calling black people names like animals, fools, or making terrible statement that are targeted at humiliating the black person or people of colour who are God's creation as much as the white people are.
Racial discrimination has nothing to profit the perpetrator but tears on the integrity, self esteem of the victim and has contributed to the loss of peace amount humans because it is not an act of love but it purely an act of hate. Most of the wars we have seen in the world have been fought based on racial grounds and have not done what's in the best interest of mankind. Many a times the issue of racial discrimination inspires prejudice and has been instrumental in the fight against unity and you and I know that United we stand devised we fall hence we all need to be United as most big and awesome things took place when people were United. Let us all change whether you are a white person, Arab, Chinese, Indian, Zambian, Russian etc let us forget the colour thing and we at inns or to even watch a soccer match together. Let us meet to discuss how we can make this beautiful world a better place and fight hunger, diseases, racism, child marriages, human trafficking, illiteracy, drug trafficking, deforestation, violence and all crimes against humanity. UNESCO ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination wrote as we quote below.
