George Floyd's Murder - The Tipping Point

Suppose a kid gets admitted in a kindergarten school. He loves every thing there - his colleagues, his books, the playground and the teachers as well. But there is one teacher, who does not like him because he is of a different religion than most other kids. He/she starts discriminating with him from day one. The ki...

If we look at the history of the world, we find that Racism is as old as the human civilization. Humans are believed to have been existing on this planet since 200,000 years. Right from primitive stage when humans lived in caves, preyed on animals and lived savage lives racism has been there. Just like kindness, cruelty and to be a racist are inborn features of a human being. Let us look into detail about those different episodes of racism in human history, which have changed the course of things for the future or at least have been so intense that nobody is able to forget them even after passage of so many years. (1) Adolf Hitler's racism towards the Jew community:- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Adolf Hitler is considered to be the person responsible for initiating World War 2 and the mass killings of millions of people therein.
