Racial-class divide has always being a problem because of attachment to skin colour and also a clear basis for favouritism.
I feel it is disrespectful to identify an individual based on skin colour rather than their titles. It is for this reason if I am carrying a passport of a country then I am local in that country and could be best identified by my name. If I do not have their passport then I become a foreigner in that country and have the option to become a local based on the country’s rules and regulations.
At what point do I begin to make unreasonable distinctions based on people’s skin complexion now calling them black and white. Does it matter if am black or white living within the boundaries of a foreign country, which I eventually become a local.
An individual should be identified by their name and not their skin colour. We made a blatant error from the beginning trying to put people in a certain class based on their skin complexion and not their names which carry meanings and purpose too. We caused wars, which took away many lives trying to favour people based on their skin colours too.
Is it not amazing that people are killing one another based on “black and white” slogan which has no real meaning and purpose? As a matter of fact many have been sent to the grave before their time because of this blatant error which has been passed down from one generation to another.
If I need to revive a sick patient dying on the bed of a hospital I would first call them by their names and not going by the derogatory phrase, black and white. The first question I would ask a patient that needs assistance if I get to an accident scene is the name and nothing else.
Thus, I have seen people being raised back to life by calling their names and not addressing them based on a lifeless skin-colour classification.

The best way to identify an individual, community and society are the names and not the colours. I think we have been out of order to address human beings based on colour distinctions appropriate for inanimate objects. Thus, I can look at a car and say a black car, I can look at a house and say a white house; I can look at a tree and say it has green leaves and a brown stem and white flowers. I can look at the road and say it is a long winding road. I can look at another road and say it is a cross road. I can look at the sky and say it is a blue sky. I can look at the moon and say it is silver. Colour classification is appropriate for inanimate objects and nothing else.
Why should human beings who ought to be respected classified in a system used to address lifeless objects.
The names of Individuals, Communities, and Societies cannot be overemphasized as we begin to address each other based on meaningful names with purpose rather than lifeless classifications meant for inanimate objects too.
I was impressed when I saw Nigeria's new name classification for roads using footballer's names and former presidents who have contributed and made a difference to the nation. A foreigner new to that country can immediately put a meaning to those structures with different colours.
I can address a foreigner too in that country by their names and not the colours of structures I have seen within their environment.
- It is time to put an end to the lifeless classification for addressing human beings with meaningful titles.
- We must put an end to the black-white racial segregation and divide.
