I will like to start my presentation by first of all examining the concept of racial dignity. Racial dignity stems from two words: Race and Dignity.

Race -: The second edition of the Collins English dictionary defined race as "a group of people of common ancestry, distinguished from others by physical characteristic, such as hair type ,colours of eyes and skin stature, etc. It further went on to state that the "principal races are Caucasoid(Whites) Mongoloid(Asian) and Negroid(Blacks), and the human race consisted of human beings collectively. From the above definition of race, one can vividly see that, the term race is just a way of distinguishing human beings based on the different characteristics and culture which they posses. It is a way of identifying and classifying human beings into different groups based solely on differences in physical attributes and ancestry backgrounds. It therefore, means that the term "race" in reality has nothing to do with superiority or perfection. If this is correct, how come in today's world a particular race is deemed more inferior than another and vice versa? In other for us to delve into the anomalies surrounding the discrepancies in different races, we have to look deeply into the meaning of the word Dignity.

Dignity-: Merriam-Webster online dictionary defined dignity as: "the quality or state of being worthy, honoured or esteemed". Other definitions include: Stateliness and formality in manner and appearance, the respect and honour associated with an important position, a high office or rank, the ceremonial symbols and observances attached to a high office.
