Racism continues to remain one of the existential threats to human society. It is not that most of the people do not know the sources, the perpetuators of racism or its effects they do, yet the problem still persists. Racism is based on the accident of colour, and it is used to categorize human beings along racial lines in terms of superiority or inferiority. Racism is a powerful tool in the hands of its practitioners that historically has and continues to cause inhumane sufferings and afflict pain, and to discriminate others. The recent racial discrimination of some African students trying to flee the current conflict in Ukraine is a stark reminder that racism still exists, and is no respecter of the essence of human beings, human dignity, equality or rights. Racism can be eliminated and become non-existent. The aim of this paper is to look into some of the ways in which racism can be eliminated.
