United States of America Barren of Human Rights




This is the 21st century. 
Every country and nation on this planet, though they differ in languages and skin colors, are aspiring for the age of advanced civilization that promotes harmony.
However, there is only one country that pertains to its inhuman physiology and swim against the current of the times.
That is the United States of America.
In this country innocent black people are shot or strangled to death in broad daylight.
Since it had proclaimed its establishment, hoisting the Stars and Stripes on the land drenched with the blood of the massacred native Indians, it has always been the place barren of human rights and deluged with such misanthropy as racism and chauvinism.

 In particular, racial discrimination against the black has gone to such extremes as of resulting in their poverty, unemployment, deprivation of political rights, and even the loss of their lives. 
Here are some evidences-an 18-year-old black man was shot dead by a white policeman in Ferguson of Missouri in the US and another young black man, who had been eking out his living by selling cigarettes on the street, was strangled by police in New York last year.
It is annoying that the police responsible for protecting life and property of the people committed such outrages of ruthlessly killing innocent citizens; what is more disturbing is the acquittals of the accused policemen by the US judiciary and the patronage of the murderers by US President Obama of African origin.   
This is the situation in the US which styles itself a “human rights judge” of the world.
Injustice can never win justice.
These human rights violations incurred public anger from across the US.
There were demonstrations of the people in more than 170 cities including Ferguson of Missouri and New York, in protest against the justification of the crimes by the authorities.
Enraged demonstrators conducted fierce protest actions, shouting such slogans as “Police, put your weapons down,” “We protest against the acquittal of the white policeman,” and “No justice and peace in the US.”
However, bare-handed demonstrators were mercilessly cracked down by the authorities.
The Missouri state authorities declared a state of emergency, enlisted in heavily-armed police and even military troops, employed tear gas, smoke shell and other repressive means, arrested hundreds of demonstrators and injured countless people.
The US policy of extreme racial discrimination and subsequent human rights violations are drawing strong condemnation and denunciation from the international community.
The Los Angeles Times and other media in the US reported that the murders of black people put the US standard of human rights on the chopping board of the world’s press.
The spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that ill-balanced antidotes the US judiciary had taken to the large-scale eruptions of the outrages of the people proved once again that the failure in the settlement of serious disintegration, discrimination and inequality by the indexes of the races was a weal point in the systematic structure of the American-style democracy.
As the situation shows the United States is the country where all sorts of human rights, to say nothing of elementary rights of a human being, are obliterated and the country of barbarians.
