AMERICAN RACIALISM: THE SAGA STILL CONTINUES

This paper is an attempt to unravel the spine-chilling experiences of the innocent
African souls who did not have the least idea about the pirate powers of the world
outside their continent of equatorial rains, dense forests and rich grasslands.
Arriving into their land, first as ‘white ghosts with shoes’ and gradually setting their
foot and ending up by pulling out millions of the natives and dumping them into the
slave-ships to labour endlessly at North or South American plantations, the
heartless white American ‘masters’, even today, seldom feel ashamed of their
inhuman activities when a black criminal is killed unknown in a dirty rain-washed
American lane by a white’s bullet and no department takes pain to identify him or
his family. The brutality with which the blacks have been treated since their first
arrival in America has shocked many a writers out of apathy. Many prolific writers of
America or outside, either black or white, have taken up such issues in their
compositions as central themes or sub themes, working tirelessly to awaken their
nation to this ill-practice for which they will be unquestionably questioned by the
Divine Master.
