The sins of the U.S. are many, but I don't think anyone can credibly say, in the modern era, that the treatment of minorities in the U.S. is in any way, shape, or form comparable to what's happening in China right now. Say what you will about the U.S., no one's getting put in camps.
- minikites 5y agoWe put people in prison because of race, because we choose to enforce some laws on people of certain races and not on others. Slavery is allowed as punishment for a crime (see the text of the amendment) and that's exactly what we do with prisoners. When people of certain races are executed by police, the officer(s) do not usually face consequences or punishment. We're the world's biggest glass house, maybe we shouldn't throw so many stones. We can set a better example by changing how our society operates, we only need to choose to do so.
