The racism continues to scar people

Old fashioned slavery in 18th century
The racism continues to scar people in the world that we live in. Although it is claimed that slavery has been discontinued, it has really been replaced by modern slavery in 21st century. Even though there is no scientific basis for race division, the theory of racism was developed to justify the slave trade in the early days of capitalism. The brutality of slavery is portrayed in this 18th century drawing. You are left to draw modern slavery yourself as it still continues to threaten lives of many humans even in developed countries such as Britain.
