Former Kaduna lawmaker and outspoken activist, Senator Shehu Sani, recently sparked a discussion on social media with a thought-provoking question about racism. He questioned why there is a greater emphasis on white racism against black individuals compared to other forms of racism.
Racism appears to be the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, often leading to the categorization of races as inferior or superior to one another.
In a tweet posted on his verified Twitter handle on Saturday, August 12, Senator Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central Constituency in the 8th National Assembly, highlighted examples of racism faced by black individuals from various racial backgrounds: “Chinese Racism against Blacks, Indian Racism against Blacks, Arab Racism against Blacks, Jewish Racism against Blacks, Latino Racism against Blacks, Japanese Racism against Blacks. Why is the white Racism against Blacks more emphasized?”
