Racism is the overt and covert, conscious and subconscious, belief that people of different ethnicities are '''not''' inherently equal. As seen in Anglo Americans treatment and view of Africans in the past and the present, a racist assumption of ethnic superiority supports and underlies exploitation, actual and monetary enslavement, and denying basic human rights to those in need.
