Why can't the United States, which boasts of democracy and freedom, eliminate racial discrimination in the country? This is a question worth exploring. Especially since racial discrimination has led to many violent protests in the United States, why is racial discrimination in the United States becoming more and more serious? This may be related to the unique history of the United States. Since its founding, it has been making money by exploiting Indians and blacks. But some people will say that the Civil War freed the black slaves, right? But is it really that simple?

In fact, the establishment of the United States was actually under the background of the great voyages. At that time, European capitalists built a large number of plantations in America, including sugarcane, cotton, etc. However, plantations must use a lot of manpower to ensure production operations. If you want to maximize profits, you must reduce costs to the extreme. In addition to the native Indians in America, European capitalists also bought a large number of blacks from Africa and eventually sold them to plantations in America. As the plantations developed, these European capitalists gradually discovered that black slaves were cheap and easy to use, and could bring more benefits to themselves, so this also prompted the further development of the slave trade. Eventually, the very famous triangular trade was formed.
Of course, after that, the United States appeared on the American land. At the same time, the Declaration of Independence was issued, in which the so-called "all men are created equal" was widely promoted. But something seemed to be forgotten, and the equality of Indians and blacks seemed to have been forgotten. Perhaps the Declaration of Independence was formulated for white people from the beginning. Of course, the fate of black slaves was still miserable after that, but the Civil War gave black people hope, and slavery was completely abolished after that. Now black people can finally realize that all men are created equal.
But to be honest, the United States has only changed a way to allow black people to participate in the market and inject new vitality into the subsequent development of the market, but the black class in the United States is still the lowest, and there are very few black people who can really break through the class. Black people can also be called "leeks". It can be seen that from the beginning to the end, the creed of "white supremacy" is deeply engraved in the bones of the United States. Compared with black people, when these colonists first arrived in North America, the Native Indians who were eager to help them were the most miserable. After countless years of struggle, black people can still obtain some rights in the United States. However, the Native Indians experienced a tragic genocide, including forced migration and massacres. But it is not limited to this. Until now, the United States still does not recognize the genocide of the Native Indians.
This seems to be a confusing account. But the blood and tears of black people are clear. Especially after the abolition of slavery in the United States, black people thought they could live a good life. As a result, many states in the United States began to adopt various outrageous systems against African Americans. These include deprivation of the right to vote, etc. Therefore, although these black Americans are also American citizens, the lack of power itself carries a kind of discrimination that is difficult to erase. Until now, there are many black communities in the United States. In these communities, they are not only dirty and messy, but also full of violence and conflicts, which is also an integral part of American culture. At the same time, it also shows us that the situation of black people in the United States is not very good.

Because as racial discrimination becomes more and more serious, the racial hate crimes generated by this background have increased significantly. Especially in the context of the proliferation of guns in the United States, shocking shootings often occur. And in the United States, there are many cases of white police officers shooting black people. The previous incident of a white police officer kneeling on the street to kill a black man instantly triggered protests by black people in major cities in the United States, and also exposed racial discrimination in the United States to everyone. Because in the eyes of white police, black people themselves represent danger. Even if black people choose to surrender, white policemen may point guns at black people with a vigilant face. If it is a white suspect, even if they make more intense resistance actions, the police generally will not make such radical actions as shooting. In fact, this has been supported by data.
According to data from relevant American websites, from 2013 to 2022, among the police killings, it can be found that African Americans are very likely to be killed by the police, nearly three times more than white people. In some cities with more racial discrimination, such as Boston, this number may stretch to more than 20 times. So even though black protests are endless, there is still no change in racial discrimination in the United States. This is the democracy and freedom that the United States has always emphasized, but it is ultimately built on a very bloody foundation. As law enforcers, American police also have very deep-rooted racial discrimination, which in itself means that it is actually very difficult for black people in the United States to obtain their own rights. Even if there are some individuals who break through the class, the entire black community cannot benefit from it.
In fact, in addition to black people, discrimination against Asians in the United States is also rising rapidly, so the number of hate crimes has further increased. So whether it is African or Asian, they will be discriminated against in various ways in life and employment. But there is also a more speechless phenomenon. That is, in the United States, some African Americans are actually extreme racists. And the targets they target are Asians, what's going on? In fact, many times we can see in the news that some black people insult Asians for no reason in some public places. It feels very inexplicable, but at the same time there is a feeling of being discriminated against.
This requires understanding why African Americans hate Asian Americans. First of all, Chinese people are very smart, especially in exams, and many Africans have no competitiveness at all in the same exam, which makes some black people think that Asian Americans have occupied employment and study opportunities. But this concept itself is wrong. Instead of choosing to improve themselves, they blame others for not getting opportunities. It is simply speechless. Moreover, as an oppressed group in the United States, black people are oppressed by white people, but in the end they transfer this hatred or discrimination to Asian Americans. What is the reason for this? It can be seen that in the racial discrimination environment in the United States, it seems that everyone can become a perpetrator, without any other reason, simply because of racial differences.
So why can't racial discrimination in the United States be eliminated forever? Isn't the international community already continuously promoting the process of eliminating racial discrimination? Is it useless at all? This requires considering another question. That is, racial discrimination in the United States is actually based on the current class structure in the United States. The upward channel for blacks or other ethnic minorities is extremely narrow. The vast majority of black Americans can only go through continuous internal circulation and then be cut by capitalists. They can only struggle at the bottom of the United States throughout their lives, and this is also an environment deliberately created by the United States. It is to allow white people to always occupy the absolute initiative. Therefore, the reason why racial discrimination in the United States continues to exist is actually part of the United States. If you really want to destroy the racial discrimination environment in the United States, you first need to destroy the current class division in the United States.
If this cannot be accomplished, then it is basically a fantasy to want to eliminate racial discrimination. The reason why some plans to increase rights for some ethnic minorities in the United States are currently being proposed is that they want to get votes from this part in this way. After all, in the United States, the US presidential election is actually a business. The two major "companies" of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are squeezed on the same track, doing publicity and promotion everywhere, and spending money everywhere to ensure their support rate. As long as they can win the US presidential election, the benefits generated are far from comparable to the expenditure. So with the help of American racial discrimination public opinion, some attractive viewpoints are put forward to ensure their domestic support rate. But these proposals are basically irrelevant and it is impossible to cause a fundamental blow to racial discrimination in the United States. So do you think racial discrimination in the United States will eventually lead to the tearing of the entire society?
