Abstract
  • This research delves into the roots and manifestations of Afrophobia, a term referring to discriminatory beliefs and actions against Africans and their descendants. Focusing on the United Kingdom (UK), the study investigates why pervasive hatred persists and how these beliefs are manifested in Western European society. By examining the historical relationship between Britain and Africa, the paper reveals the evolution of European behavior towards African immigrants. The analysis highlights concerns of Afro-Europeans about white counterparts, tracing the origins of Afrophobia from European colonization to the present. Despite pushes towards equality in recent decades, Afrophobia endures- a direct result of the deep-seated history between the United Kingdom and the African continent. This paper seeks to acknowledge the complexity of the situation, a step towards dismantling prejudice and driving meaningful change.
