Human Hatred Runs Extreme

From the very beginning of the New Year, criminal acts fomented by the feelings of human hatred are committed one after another in the U.S.


According to the U.S. Fox News, a cold-blooded incident happened in the NYC subway on January 15 where a suspicious-looking guy killed an Asian woman, who was waiting for a railway car at the terminal station, by pushing her away to the railway at the moment when the car entered the terminal.


Earlier in December last year, an Asian man was walking along the street in NYC and was attacked by a white man from behind. He was carried to a hospital, but found dead later.


On January 15, an incident happened in a synagogue in Texas where a suspicious man carrying guns held 4 Jewish priests hostage.


The study group from an American university has recently released its findings that the number of the people, who lost their lives owing to violence by policemen in their country, reached more than two times than the statistical figures announced by the government. Among them, it criticized, the mortality of the black people hit the highest record, being about 3. 5 times higher than the mortality of the white people.


Last year, the spread of COVID-19 touched off the feelings of hatred against the Chinese leading to the prevalence of violence against the Asians. Earlier in May 2020, what Floyd said - “I can’t breathe”, who fell victim to violence by a white policeman, shook the whole of the U.S. land.


The severity of ever-worsening racist culture of the U.S. reminds people of the novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” written by Harriet Beecher Stowe, U.S. female writer in 1852.


The novel set against the background of the mid-19th century exposed the reactionary and brutal nature of the racial ill-treatment through the character portrayal of Tom, a black slave and Simon Legree, a white land owner.


It is through this novel that people were awakened to the reactionary nature of the black slavery and racism. But the racist culture is much more prevalent, far from being disappeared.


The root cause of not uprooting the racist culture in the U.S. lies in the capitalist and political system that only serves the interests of a tiny handful of the privileged classes.


The greater tragedy is that the U.S. is speaking ill of other countries over their human rights and expostulating with them for one thing or another, even though the racist culture was born in it, and it is ever more increasing anti-ethical acts beyond the century.


Not long ago, the spokesperson for the Russian foreign ministry has denounced that the U.S. cannot stand as an expostulator on the human rights in the international arena, saying that its crimes against the Asians doubled and its crimes against the Africans increased 1.5 times in the U.S.


On January 21, the spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry said that the malignant gene of the racial discrimination is overflowing in the blood of the U.S. even until today, and condemned that the U.S. government should remove once and for all the “malignant tumor” of the racial discrimination deeply rooted in the American society, and put a period to more than 200-year-long “U.S. history of racial extermination of the native Indians” and the “U.S. record of racial discrimination” forever.


Such criticism from the international society substantiates the fact that the U.S. bid to make “human rights” a subject of discussion in the international arena itself is a mockery of the genuine human rights and an insult to humankind.
