Abstract

<a href="https://www.adl.org/racism">ADL</a> defines racism as; “the hatred of one person by another — or the belief that another person is less than human — because of skin color, language, customs, place of birth or any factor that supposedly reveals the basic nature of that person”.It is unfortunate that racism has been given a prominent sit in our society today. It is scary too to mention that it has come to stay with us. It is evil and every human with a conscience should condemn it.I am black.

We seem to be comfortable with it

It is unfortunate to mention that those who champion the protest against racism are living comfortably with tribalism and class-racism among themselves.

Blacks are the most victims of racism. But my concern is, among the blacks, class-racism, religious-racism and tribal-racism are huge. Concentrating on protest against racism from the Whites and not talking about internal racism among blacks is like shaving the head and leaving the haggard beard.

Racism is an inhuman treatment done to another by another because of color difference. This is actually how an average black defines racism. But, is that all? Is this not a slice of it?

I have read several articles written on racism and the writers have never missed adding the phrase; “because I am black”. Who told us that racism is all about color?

Racism goes beyond color differences.

ADL defines racism as; “the hatred of one person by another — or the belief that another person is less than human — because of skin color, language, customs, place of birth or any factor that supposedly reveals the basic nature of that person”.

It is unfortunate that racism has been given a prominent sit in our society today. It is scary too to mention that it has come to stay with us. It is evil and every human with a conscience should condemn it.

I am black. I feel no intimidation when a white color is standing next to me.

But I am concerned about my brothers from the same mother (color) who are championing the protest against racism, who themselves are racists. Are they not even surprised how some of us have become mute on this course?

I am silent because I know that when the war against color-racism is eventually won; when our color is seen as equal with the other, I won’t be given a seat in their homes because of my tribe.

This battle of racism of color cannot be won unless we defeat the internal racism among us. A tribalist is a racist. A religious bigot is a racist. Both do not respect color. In tribalism, blacks discriminate against blacks, blacks discriminate against whites.

How can I go to war with them against color-racism when I know I won't partake in the sharing of the spoils because of my tribe, religion, and class? I hate to join to talk about color-racism because where it stops, tribalism and class-racism begin.

The whites refused us from getting married to their daughters because of our color and we cried anathema.

When a black race denies his fellow black a job opportunity because he doesn't come from the same tribe, how do we cry? When a particular group is entitled to high office position than the other because of religious differences, how do we cry?

Black lives matter! Does it matter among the blacks?

If I cannot sit together with your sons and daughters because I don’t belong to your religion, is it not racism? If we can't get married because of my religion, classes, or tribe, what is the essence of joining you to fight for black life?

Maybe we should leave all these and secure our equality first with the white color. We should just shave our head clean and leave the haggard beard.
