Beautiful Colours

The Sierra Leonean author talks to his readers about the colours black and white, and about the concept of racism. The objective is to highlight the roles played by Sierra Leone history, language, culture, politics, religion and economy in promoting racism. The author however cautions that, "our concern with racism should not diminish our sense of the gravity of other no less virulent forms of bigotry.

Some non-racist forms of discrimination which can even lead to ethnic genocide are just as dangerous as racism!"
