“You Aren’t Black or White”—New Book Sparks Global Call for Unity and Equality

A groundbreaking book, You Aren’t Black or White: One Human Race, Unequal Societies, has been unveiled in a bold move to challenge racial and social divisions. The book, a collaboration between Anti Black and White Label and Help the Amputee Foundation, delivers a powerful message: humanity is one, but societies remain unequal.

The unveiling was led by Uche Oneneze, founder of Anti Black and White Label, who passionately advocated for a world where race is no longer a tool for division. He emphasized the book’s core theme—that despite differences in skin color, all humans are fundamentally equal.

The event featured influential speakers who reinforced this message from diverse perspectives. Pastor Ikey Monye referenced biblical teachings to highlight Christianity’s stance against racism. Lindi Mminele, from the South African Commission, shared the significance of traditional South African greetings as symbols of unity, reinforcing the belief that all people are one.

Bringing an Islamic perspective, Hon. Mahmud Abubakar Wambai (Madakin Mubi), Chairman of Help the Amputee Foundation, cited Quranic verses condemning racism. He also shed light on the discrimination faced by amputees and people with disabilities, a struggle often overlooked. Similarly, Mr. Tizhe J. Kwaji, President of Help the Amputee Foundation, emphasized the double discrimination amputees face—not only for their physical condition but also due to societal biases.

H.E. Miriam Morales Palmero, Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba, provided a global outlook, celebrating the resilience of African people and their contributions to the world. She reaffirmed Cuba’s commitment to equality for people of color and those with disabilities, calling for international solidarity in dismantling discrimination.

More than just a book launch, the event served as a powerful call to action, urging society to rise above racial and social barriers. The message was clear—true equality should not be an abstract ideal but a lived reality for all.
