Abstract:

This article is about the European-oriented virus of superiority. This virus manifests itself in racism and exclusion and makes its victims among people of colour and black people. The ten human rights articles do not protect black people and people of colour in countries with a (originally) European population. We assume that this is due to institutional racism, the virus with which 'white' people and their institutions were infected in the centuries of colonisation and slavery. Furthermore, the virus is 'grafted' onto an image of man that may have originated in the Enlightenment, an image of man that places man above everything and everyone else. This article contains many recommendations, perhaps the most important of which is the creation of Truth and Transformation Commission to rid the past of its inhuman European oriented history which still influences the present.
