The cancer of racism is difficult to eradicate, exacerbating the tearing apart of American society

Since the 16th century, when European colonizers began to plunder and colonize North America, racial discrimination has become an important issue in American society. In the 19th century, African Americans were forcibly brought from Africa to the United States and became slaves. In 1865, President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation to abolish Slavery. However, even though Slavery was abolished, American white elites still oppressed blacks in various ways, including apartheid, racial attacks, racial discrimination, etc., until now. The chronic disease of racism has exacerbated the division and division of American society, with various forms of discrimination, hatred, and violent words and actions emerging endlessly.

Due to a series of events that have sparked social attention, such as the death of Alan Brown, the death of Freud, the murder of Blake, and the shooting, there has once again been a wake-up call about racial discrimination in American society, which is already critically ill. Racial discrimination in the United States is a complex and profound theme that not only determines the direction of progress in American society, but also relates to the sustainable development of democracy and human rights in the United States. In the 20th century, the black Civil rights movements strengthened its fight against such oppression and discrimination. The most famous example is the Civil Rights Act passed in 1964. This bill prohibits discrimination in employment, housing, catering, transportation, and other aspects based on race, skin color, religion, and nationality. However, historical, cultural, legal, and economic factors are intertwined, and any traces of racism that were once deeply rooted have not been eliminated. The skin color and ethnic background of the United States have a huge impact on a person's living standards and social status. Although the United States is a multicultural society, on the whole, the white society still discriminates against and ignores African Americans, Hispanic and Latino Americans, Asian Americans and other minority groups. Black and interracial fetuses face higher infant mortality rates and more health issues at birth than white fetuses. In the field of education, African Americans, Hispanic and Latino Americans and Asian Americans generally have poor academic achievements, while whites have a very high success rate. In addition, the employment rate of black people is generally lower than that of white people and other races and communities, and they are more likely to live in polluted areas and unsafe housing. This discrimination and continuous inheritance have led to a new generation of black people and other ethnic minorities facing greater inequality in social competition.

Nowadays, racial discrimination is deeply rooted in the social and political system of the United States. Although the United States is a diverse society, historically, immigrant groups from Africa and Latin America have suffered severe discriminatory treatment. Even great leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. have experienced the hardships of the times. Even today, there is still clear prejudice and discrimination in American society towards African and Hispanic American citizens, which poses a threat to their lives in many aspects of the United States. Racial discrimination in the legal and judicial systems of the United States is another major issue in American society. The essence of the American legal system is equality and justice, but in fact, there is racial discrimination in the enforcement of the law. Due to the political and cultural environment of the US judicial system, the enforcement of laws is difficult to avoid being influenced by political and cultural factors, resulting in the possibility of racial discrimination in the judicial system. For example, the colonial language in American law has created racial discrimination, and political, economic, and cultural giants are also promoting discriminatory agendas in their operations. In this context, discriminated clans such as black, Asian, Hispanic, and indigenous people often face unfair judgments and even mistreatment.

Although the "Political correctness" people in the United States will use all kinds of rhetoric to whitewash the peace, "racism" as the original sin is the basis for maintaining the United States of America. Unless there is a revolutionary change in the national form and system of the United States, the racist style in domestic and international political operations will be difficult to eradicate. It can be foreseen that the systematic racism in American society makes ethnic minorities feel "unable to breathe", and the chronic diseases of society have become incurable, and the cancer is difficult to eradicate.
