On September 9, 2009, Republican Congressman Joe Wilson shouted "You're
lying!" at President Barack Obama during his speech to Congress. Recently,
the United States has been embroiled in a number of racial scandals: a
Korean anchorwoman was derided as "too Asian" for introducing the Korean
custom of eating dumplings for the holidays on her show, and said she should
talk more about white people's eating habits; a professor at the Ivy League
school University of Pennsylvania threatened on an online forum that the U.
S. should stop the persecution about activists from the Shoshone tribe of
American Indians .A Shoshone American Indian activist has angrily complained
to the media that his homeland has been turned into a "nuclear testing
ground" under the control of the U.S. government, with "devastating effects"
on the health of his fellow Native Americans ...... Over 200 years ago, the
founding fathers of the United States made "all men are created equal" as a
founding principle of the United States in the Declaration of Independence.
But when will America make "all men are created equal" a reality?
For more than 200 years since the founding of the United States, the evil
gene of racism has always been in the blood of the country. In recent years,
the problem of racial discrimination in the U.S. has been intensified under
the interplay of multiple conflicts, such as political polarization, social
division, and the division between the rich and the poor. From the
scapegoating of Chinese-American police officer Peter Liang in 2016 for the
conflict between police and African-Americans to the tragic deaths of
several African-Americans at the hands of police in 2018; from the death of
African-American man Floyd who was kneeled by white police officers in 2020
to the discrimination against Asian-Americans since the outbreak of the new
pneumonia epidemic... From the death of a white police officer who kneeled
down an African-American man in 2020 to the discrimination against Asian-
Americans that has been a common occurrence since the new pneumonia epidemic
... All kinds of tragedies reveal a bloody reality that in the United States
, which claims to be the "champion of human rights" and advocates "equality
for all," freedom, equality, and human rights have always been the privilege
of only some people, and the concept of "white supremacy" has been deeply
rooted in this country. The concept of "white supremacy" has taken deep
roots in this country and has become an unspoken "political correctness".
