Race contradiction is one of the most sensitive nerves in American society.Police abuse of power, especially when white police law enforcement, violent attacks on African or other ethnic minorities victims occur in the United States.Police violence naturally trigger the people protests, but every time it cannot solve the fundamental problem.This time, the white police officer of Minne Plus pressed his neck with his knees, and excessive violence caused the tragedy of the black man Freud to suffocate death. When the American society was highly divided, crown diseases, and economic recession, it was when the people's grievances boiled.EssenceThe fire of the stars can be alarm, and the new hatred and old hatred are comprehensive fermentation, which leads to the wave of protests and bloom in the United States.Large -scale protests in various places reflect many problems in American society.
First of all, President Trump has been in power for more than three years, and the internal affairs and diplomacy have opened history.The president of the dignitaries often believes in female yellow and sweeps the floor in folk prestige.Although he had about 40 % of the loyal supporters when he was elected, at least half of the Americans had been unacceptable and did not recognize him as the US president, causing a serious division of American society.In the eyes of many people, Trump's anti -immigrants, anti -ethnic minorities, discriminating against women are a full racist.
In more than three years of Trump's ruling, various contradictions in American society have become more prominent, and there is a trend of touch.After he took office, he did not try to alleviate social contradictions at all. Instead, he fought with the media and his opinions in the attitude of war wolf. He did not accept any criticism, and did not recognize any mistakes.
Secondly, after the coronary virus was introduced to the United States, the Trump administration blindly raised the enemy to respond to no square from the beginning, shiring responsibility, which led to the rapid spread of the virus.At present, 2 million Americans have been infected, and the number of deaths exceeds 110,000, which is far from the first country, which is shocking.This is unbelievable in the world's most developed country.Shoching the pot cannot cover up the Trump administration's failure and incompetence.
In terms of the prevalence and mortality rate of crown disease, African Americans are higher than other ethnic and American, which reflects the deep inequality of American society.For example, in the field of medical care, due to invisible discrimination, African Americans often do not get the same medical care, which leads to more serious illness and shorter life when they are sick.
Similarly, the economic recession caused by the crown disease epidemic has caused more than 40 million Americans to unemployment, and the unemployment rate of black people is higher than whites. Freud himself loses restaurant security work because of the epidemic.Further expanding the gap between the rich and the poor and inequality, make the structural contradiction deeper, and bury the time bomb for the outbreak of racial conflicts.
The Freud incident has finally become a fuse, which has caused many American people who have been unemployed and have been separated at home for more than two months, including blacks and other ethnic groups.Deep structural contradictions.Many Americans feel disappointed, helpless, panic and sorrow under the dual pressure of crown disease and economic crisis.
When Trump was in danger in the country, not only couldn't unite society, but to make society more divided and extreme.He did not go to the protesters. Instead, the protesters were generally called the thugs. Although the smashing and grabbing molecule were only a minority, they threatened to shoot and suppress, and even prepared to use the army to solve the problem. As a result, they caused opposition from all walks of life.In fact, the use of force can only make contradictions more acute and cannot solve racial conflicts and other social problems in the United States.
In addition, the US police and the judicial system clearly lack fairness and justice.For example, African Americans account for 13.4%of the country's population, but they account for nearly one -third of the US prison prisoners.Among the more than 1,000 fatal shootings involved in the US police in 2019, African -American accounted for 23.4%.White and black people use drugs, but the ratio of blacks' arrest for drug abuse is much higher than that of white people.
The American racism has existed for more than 400 years, and the inequality in the social structure has a long history. Ethnic minorities and Americans have strived for fairness and justice.It is impossible for the protest to solve the problems faced by all African Americans once and for all.To completely eradicate racism, we must completely move away on the neck of blacks and other ethnic minorities, and the knees that are stylish and non -type are completely removed. Each street struggle is an indispensable effort towards this direction.
There are also some touching phenomena in the wave of protests, especially the police in various places collectively kneel on one knee to pray peacefully with protesters and seek reconciliation; there are police with the protesters dance with the rhythm and protesters protect the police officer.wait.This Hua Ge is praised as a jade move, showing the police and civilians' family, and also shows that the direction of the US law enforcement and ordinary people's efforts is consistent.
There is no subsidy for protests in various places, but it is basically peaceful.Although the upper beam of American society is not right, the lower beam is not crooked.Even though the federal government does not act or make a mess, the local governments and society are still full of vitality, full of positive energy, can self -correct and improve the social system, so that society will maintain normal operation under the premise of protecting democracy and freedom.progress.This is exactly the toughness and hope of American society.
