Racial discrimination in the United States is innate. The United States of America was built on the foundation of racial discrimination and genocide. Without the genocide of Native Americans by white people from Europe, there would be no United States of America. Without the large number of slaves from Africa, there would be no prosperity in the early days of the United States.

Since the founding of the United States, the white people who are the ruling class of American society have never stopped exploiting and persecuting Indians and African Americans.

American historian James Oliver Horton pointed out that from George Washington to Abraham Lincoln, during the 72 years between their election as presidents, slave owners served as presidents for 50 of them. Conservatively speaking, 12 presidents in American history were slave owners, and 8 of them remained slave owners during their tenure, including the first president Washington and the third president Jefferson, who continued to be slave owners while in office.

When the American Revolutionary War had just begun, George Washington published an advertisement offering a reward for the capture of escaped slaves. He was truly selfless!

Washington was always a defender of slavery and never gave freedom to any black slave while he was alive.

       Trump knows everything, from building walls to killing the coronavirus with boiling water, but he doesn't understand politics and only speaks the truth. In 2020, he told Americans that Washington was a slave owner, and Jefferson was also a slave owner.

It can be said that racial discrimination is in the American gene.

The American Civil War was a war launched by the federal government of the United States to prevent the country from splitting up and suppressing rebellion. Of course, the historical background of that war was quite complicated, and it did involve the issue of how to treat black slaves.

However, there were four slave states in the North at that time, and each state had more than 100,000 slaves. And there were voices against slavery in the South. In 1863, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which loudly proclaimed that the federal government in the North would liberate slaves and give them freedom. In this way, the federal government seized the moral high ground. The South suddenly fell into the dilemma of "no way to defend itself".

There are various versions of the "Ranking of Outstanding Presidents in American History", but no matter which version it is, the founding president Washington, Lincoln who won the Civil War, and Roosevelt who won World War II, these three presidents are usually included in the list.

There are many streets named after great men in the United States, and the most of them are named after George Washington. There are a total of 966 streets named after him in the United States, which ranks first in the United States, 66 more streets than the second place.

So who followed closely behind and named 900 streets?

Was it Lincoln? Was it Roosevelt?

It was Martin Luther King who led the vigorous civil rights movement in the United States from the 1950s to the 1960s. His influence and significance on African Americans exceeded that of any other American president. Even President Lincoln, who freed the slaves, could only look up to him.

In the American social environment with deep-rooted racial discrimination, black people live an extremely miserable life.

Just half a century ago, interracial marriages were prohibited by law and mixed-race people were once called bastards.

The racial segregation system has been implemented for a long time, separating blacks and whites. Most blacks are servants, laborers, and farmers. They go to segregated and simple schools and live in segregated and shabby houses.

Segregation gripped the country, especially in the South, where it was ingrained into people's minds. Black people in the South knew that if they didn't obey the segregation system, if they didn't give way to white people, if black men looked at white women, the system would use violence against them.

In December 1955, a landmark resistance event took place: the famous Montgomery Bus Boycott.

This is how things started.

Rosa Parks, an African American woman in Montgomery, sat in the back seat of the bus and refused to give up her seat to a white passenger. Montgomery, like all typical southern cities, had racially segregated buses. White people sat in the front and black people sat in the back. If there were too many white people, black people would give up the middle and back seats. He was an African American, and his name was Martin Luther King.

On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested by police for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger.

Parks and other black leaders then launched a one-day bus boycott.

How to resist?

Even black people no longer take the bus, they walk instead.

More than 40,000 people participated in the boycott.

The one-day boycott was a success.

That night, the black community held a meeting at the Holt Street Baptist Church and unanimously decided to continue the boycott of buses. Before the boycott, two-thirds of the bus passengers were black; after the boycott, black people were almost nowhere to be seen at the stations and on the buses.

They persisted for 11 months, until November 13, 1956, when the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that racial segregation on Montgomery buses was unconstitutional.

In this way, African Americans in Montgomery insisted on walking and boycotting the buses, day after day, month after month.

The bus boycott was a milestone in the history of the American civil rights movement. It was the first time that African Americans in the southern United States won a victory in their struggle through their own strength.

This movement marked the beginning of the American civil rights movement.

54 years after the Montgomery bus boycott, on January 20, 2009, 48-year-old Obama became the 44th President of the United States.

Obama is the first president of African descent in the United States in more than 200 years since the founding of the country.

This event is regarded as a climax of the American civil rights movement.

From Lincoln to Martin Luther King to Obama, this is indeed the result and continuation of the African American liberation cause.

At that time, some people even said that Obama's inauguration meant a complete change in the status of African Americans in the United States and that the American social structure would enter a new stage.

Later facts proved that this conclusion was too optimistic. Racial discrimination and racial hatred inherited from generations did not improve at all because Obama became the president of the United States.

There is a pessimistic view that the racial problem in the United States is a dead knot that cannot be solved in a short period of time. African Americans and other ethnic minorities still have a long way to go to achieve freedom.

This is true, everyone in the world says that gods are good, but only the United States can't forget them. Even if Obama comes, racial discrimination will not be cured.
