Racisme og social ulighed i USA

America is a country built around the word hope and equal rights. But why is there so many riots and why do more black people get arrested than white? Is it their own fault, or is it just how the country works? How does it go when a country like America gets a president like Donald Trump?

Slavery ended for 150 years ago, but young black men are treated as second-class citizens. When you are black and live in southern states you cannot live out the American values, because one of the American values is equality of opportunity. Equality of opportunity means equal rights that means that all have the same opportunities to have a good life and a decent work. Let's take an example of this, If you are black is your ride home from work a dangerous trip. There is a big possibility that you are stopped by the police and getting charged for something you have never done, and maybe you are so unlucky that you get shot when you are trying to grab after your driving license. This scenario happens rarely when you are white. Because of these scenarios are there many innocent black people who are arrested or killed, that cause that black people see the police and authorities with distrust and injustice. The meaning of a police officer is to keep law and order and protect all people equally.
