The great humanist civilizers, who were those who conceived pan-Africanism, have shown us for more than a century already, that racial discrimination is not only the symptom of uneasiness in a society and in the world, it is the fundamental cause, the one that drags along the other issues, affecting the entire space of human interactions.
As soon as a society accepts the lie of racial preference to the detriment of foreigners, it finds itself confronted with the reality of seeing its own vulnerable categories treated with the same brutality and the same indifference, because the elements of language are already present, to allow outrages upon personal dignity.
This is how we note the recovery of the poor classes by speeches of xenophobia, by the systematic and increased demonization of foreigners in political discourse and the media.
It is a sadly known strategy that those who were the targets of systemic racism, such as the victims of the Shoah or other genocides, know how to recognize.
Blaming strangers with political speeches is just the beginning of the societal nightmare.
This lie, this false proposition that some poor people will be treated better than others, on the basis of a racial distinction, is an illusion that is slowly implemented by constant hammering, because it constitutes a deliberate social trap.
Now the truth that the sages of Pan-Africanism have helped us to understand, is that racial discrimination is a social scourge that announces and invites all other discrimination, and that in this it is the physical, psychological and spiritual basis of all the injustices.
Racism, the basis of inequality
