The gruesome death suffered by George Floyd at the knees of racists is a mirage of a society that silently endorses and brews the ideology of racial supremacism — ‘us’ vs ’them’. This rhetoric has remorsefully created an imaginary distinction between human beings on the grounds of ethnicity, religious beliefs, language, sexual orientation, gender amongst many others.

A cursory reading would reveal to us of many devastating incidences in close proximity that is needful of our severe attention.
