Selfish Acts

Many nations ruling crimes have become unbearable and vicious against very innocent people and children. Many lives have been lost behind these selfish and malicious acts. From slavery to genocide, child pornography, and most of all racism these crimes are beyond hate crimes. I often wonder if the people that commit them aren't even human themselves.

Don't get me wrong, I know that I'm not the only way who feels this way about different cultures and their brutal crime ruling against innocent poor children and women. I will speak about our nation. I love America but I don't agree with the murders that go on and no speaks out about it. As far as I'm concerned, it's a country born in genocide, slavery and wars of aggression. America was closely connected to the slavery. Some of the very first ships were carrying slaves for the local market, as early as the 1600s. Over 12 million Africans were kidnapped and transported to the US. Slavery was so called abolished but it brought about other crimes that resulted in terrorism, hangings, and racism. Segregation laws were enforced in the US until the 1960s and 1970s, mandating separate and inferior treatment of blacks compared to those provided for white Americans. The most important laws required that public schools, public places and public transportation, like trains and buses, have separate facilities for whites and blacks. It was only the bitterly-contested Civil Rights Act of 1964 that finally tried to prevent outright discrimination and segregation against black people - having to ride in the back of the bus, not being served in 'white' restaurants, forbidden to use public facilities, colored children unable to attend 'white' schools, But even with this, America has always remained deeply racist, and blacks were routinely abused and murdered with little recourse to justice. In fact, the last public vigilante lynching of a black man occurred in the US in the 1970s - not so long ago. And today, thirty years after the civil rights era, the United States still remains a residentially segregated society in which Blacks and Whites inhabit different neighborhoods of vastly different quality.

Many US immigration laws discriminated against the Asians - and still do - and at different points Chinese or other groups were banned from entering the US. For a long time, non-whites were prohibited from testifying in courts against whites, a prohibition the Americans graciously extended to the Chinese. Access to United States citizenship was restricted by race, beginning with the Naturalization Act of 1790 which refused naturalization to "non-whites." The situation has not improved all that much, though Americans are likely to protest this. Obtaining a travel visa to the US is still extremely difficult for most Asians - and for all Chinese - on no sensible or justifiable
