Please provide some background on racial discrimination between black Americans and white people.

Racial discrimination

Means: contempt between races.

The bourgeoisie divides people’s social and legal status based on race and national characteristics, and restricts and infringes upon the basic rights and freedoms of other races. In a class society, racial discrimination is essentially a class issue.

Racial discrimination has existed in ancient times, but its modern form began during the period of primitive accumulation of capital. To this day, racial discrimination still exists in some areas of the world. This phenomenon is caused by the reactionary ruling class taking legislative, administrative and other measures to advocate and spread the doctrine of racial superiority and racial hatred. There are overt and legal manifestations of racial discrimination, as well as covert and actual manifestations. In South Africa, racial discrimination is prominently represented by apartheid, which is the basic national policy of white racists and has a history of more than 300 years. In the past half century or so, the white racist authorities have issued more than 100 racial discrimination laws. Blacks and Indians in the Americas, indigenous people in Oceania, immigrants, ethnic minorities and foreign workers from Europe's original colonies, "burakumin" and caste groups in Asia are all victims of today's racial discrimination.

Racial discrimination is an insult to human dignity and has been repeatedly condemned by international public opinion and international organizations. On November 20, 1963, the United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination declared for the first time that all racial discrimination in the world must be quickly eliminated. On March 7, 1966, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination adopted by the United Nations General Assembly stipulates that in all aspects of political, economic, social, cultural or public life (such as transportation, hotels, restaurants, cafes , theaters, parks, etc.), all racial discrimination is prohibited. States Parties undertake to prevent, prohibit and eliminate all forms of racial discrimination, in particular racial separation and apartheid, and to ensure that all persons, regardless of race or nationality, have equal rights under the law. Anyone who spreads ideas of racial superiority or hatred, incites racial discrimination, or incites and commits acts of violence against any racial or ethnic group is a crime and should be punished in accordance with the law. On November 30, 1973, the United Nations adopted the International Convention for the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid, which once again clearly declared that any organization, institution or individual that commits apartheid is a crime and should bear international criminal responsibility.

Answer: zhxr63 A recent report reported that the case of Chinese female citizen Zhao Yan being brutally beaten by U.S. border guards for no apparent reason was brought to the federal court, but the case failed. The white jury unanimously acquitted the defendant. Zhao Yan's human rights have been violated. Commentators listed the reasons why Zhao Yan lost the case: she went to a place she shouldn't have gone; inappropriately reached into her bag as if she were holding a weapon; crying in court was offensive; going to court in a wheelchair seemed to gain sympathy, etc. These are not real reasons for losing the case. The real reason is racial discrimination. Because the white people on the jury have already decided in their hearts, "You will lose."

We all experience racial discrimination to a greater or lesser extent in the United States. One year our family returned from a vacation in Los Angeles and passed Highway 680 on the way back. There were four or five cars speeding by at that time, and suddenly the police stopped my car and issued a ticket. I said, "Mr. policeman, why did you only choose my car? How many other cars were speeding by?" The policeman said, "Yes, there were several cars speeding by, but I can't stop them all. In fact, your car is the fastest! If you are not convinced, you can go to court and talk to the judge. "But the fact is that according to statistics, 62% of those who receive fines are African Americans, Mexicans and other ethnic minorities, and whites are the minority. . The numbers speak to racism.

A few years ago, when I was running a gas station business, I hired a white teenager. He only worked for more than three months. One morning, he called and quit. As soon as I counted the cash box, I found that he was missing more than 200 yuan during his shift, and 3 boxes of car oil were also missing from the shelf in the auto repair room. I called the police. The Fremont Police Department sent a white female police officer to investigate the case, and I described the situation to her in detail. When she heard that the employee's name was a white man's name, I realized that she reluctantly copied the name and said coldly. She said to me coldly: "You know what? If you go to court, you will lose, and his family will sue you." I am the plaintiff, but she is warning and deterring me. Isn't this very good? Overt racism?

Let’s look at the cases happening around us again. In the case of Chinese woman Xiong Jing fighting for her son, the court ruled that her dead white husband’s sister had the right to adopt her son. She was the biological mother, but she could not adopt. . There is also a Chinese doctor couple who entrusted their daughter to a white couple when they had financial problems. Later, they wanted their daughter back, but the white couple refused. As a result, they went to court, and the jury also ruled in favor of the white couple. Blood relatives cannot get their own flesh and blood back, which is a violation of human rights and inequality.

There is also the famous case of Chen Guoren, who was killed by a white man. The jury only sentenced the defendant lightly. There were also police officers who abused violence and killed a young Vietnamese woman in San Jose in self-defense. The Korean son-in-law and father-in-law also died. The defendant was brought to court, and the jury also found them not guilty. The case of Chinese-American scientist Li Wenhe and the Chinese-American Captain Yu who was born in West Point Military Academy were accused of espionage and imprisoned, all because of racial discrimination.

Whether they are in the military, officials, police officers, civilians, or juries, they don’t say it with their mouths, but there is widespread racial discrimination in their hearts.

Dr. King, the black civil rights leader, said: "I have a dream that all people are equal." It has been more than 40 years and there has been no great progress. To change this phenomenon and no longer suffer discrimination and oppression, Asian people must unite. Unity is strength and forms a powerful political force.
