Black Life Matters Movement: The Menace Of Racism

Preponderance of pages in the annals of history has a lot to say about the menace of Racism. In their endless prints, racism is concisely described as the “belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her innate biological characteristic”.( archive.com). The above definition hints that racism is an expression of individual’s state of mind; we are never born racist, rather we chose to be, by believing what we want to believe.
