I Question My Government

If we really want the United States to advance and be "great", then we shouldn't allow actions that make certain people, who are U.S. Citizens, to be less privileged than others just because their race or gender identity. We should help every citizen to be supported of who they are so that they can be productive members of society continuing to progress, not be denied rights and resorting to crimes or maybe even what's considered terrorism cause they felt like they aren't supported by the government. Just look what racism done bringing riots when a group of cops beatun Rodney King who died. When the accused officers were tried a year later, a jury found them not guilty despite the taped evidence. In a TIME/CNN survey conducted shortly after the verdict, 57% of those polled (including 45% of black respondents) felt the outcome was the result of racism. Those feelings helped fuel the worst rioting in the U.S. since the 1960s. Honestly, I really don't see at all how discrimination against people is gonna help America be great if it just led to riots and stuff of that nature. Do we really want this in our country?
