ABSTRACT
Racism is a loaded word with too much surplus meaning. Its contemporary common usage encompasses every aspect of human and social sciences. It is an emotive word that is often avoided since it also defines the unconscious processes of the commentators whose creations are invariably within their own experiences rather than the spoken context. Regardless of which Government is in power, the stereotypes associated with whether the party is Indo or Afro-dominated add fuel to the phenomenon of racism, with each race fighting for eventual control. Whether this is a historical or evolutional instinct, the political parties employ means to get their supporters aroused and incensed, tugging at their emotions, a psychological display to secure party votes. This phenomenon sows the seed for human destructiveness and crime that is now rampant in the twin island states. The simple solution to this complex problem is power sharing, but the sociopathic leaders obsessed with power and control will have none of it.
