America's real tragedy is organized racism
America's real tragedy is organized racism, why it happened when there are so many bitter reasons behind it.
This has been going on for centuries. Well, the United States is known for its
human rights, but the humiliation of humanity is such that one has to think
about what this double standard is.
The majority of white people today still deny
that racism is a bitter reality in the United States. In such a
situation, white Americans must speak not only of peace but also of justice.
Commentators simply write that for Americans,
burning cars, tear gas, clashes between police and protesters are disturbing,
but not shocking. The death of a black American at the hands of a white police officer is certainly a tragedy, but it is also not shocking because videos
of such incidents have surfaced many times before.
Protests that erupted after the assassination
of George Floyd echoed the 2015 violent protests in Ferguson, Missouri.
Violent protests erupted in 1992 after the death of a black man named Rodney
King, dubbed the Civil Rights Movement.
According to commentators, the death of
George Floyd has gripped the United States at a time when the deadly
coronavirus has killed more than 100,000 Americans. The epidemic has led to a
sharp rise in the unemployment rate. The number of unemployed Americans has
risen to more than 30 million. In addition, political divisions and
inequalities in the United States have undermined national identity. In
addition, the class gap has widened.
For the elimination and development of racial
prejudice, the white population must be mobilized in practice.
In
such a situation, intellectuals, experts, and social workers are forced to
think that the time has not come for a logical breakdown of America. Despite
Corona, the flaws in the state and basic social infrastructure are growing. The
most important of these is organized racial prejudice. According to
sociologists, this prejudice is hollowing out the roots of America.
A video released in February shows a black
man in Georgia being shot by two white guards while jogging. In another video,
a woman in New York City called the police simply because a black man in the
park was not following the park rules. It was a sign of prejudice that the
woman had left her dog on the man. The woman later told police that she and her
dog felt threatened by the black man.
Sociologists believe that the police and the
justice system are also currently running on the lines of organized racial
prejudice. During the riots in Ferguson in 2015, the slogan "Black Lives
Matter" became popular.
In response, a new slogan was soon introduced,
"All Lives Matter." Growing intolerance against the police has given
rise to a new slogan and that 'Blue Lives Meter' is also important. The slogan
was intended to portray policemen as heroes.
No one would be surprised if conservative
white circles are active behind these counter-movements. In a series of opinion
polls, Republican voters generally trust the police more, while Democrat
voters, Hispanic Americans, and African Americans have relatively less
confidence in the police.
Thus the wheel of a normal person's normal
life seems to be almost stopped. Interest-seeking political leaders appear to
be active in a divided American society. This situation has embellished the
journey of the overall development. Change in the social structure is
inevitable. According to sociologists, the reason for American social and
economic division is the alleged racist attitude of the white race.
The solution to this problem lies
with the white population. For the elimination and development of organized
racial prejudice in the United States, the white population must be mobilized
in practice. Confidence, love must be promoted. For this, human rights
organizations should play their role. Don't let the tragedy of America really
be racial prejudice.
