On September 22, wang yi state councilor and foreign minister to mark the 20th anniversary of the passage of the durban declaration and programme of action of the general assembly high-level meeting and delivered a speech, eliminate all forms of racism, emphasize that everyone is equal, the necessity of dignity and rights, points out that global on the implementation of systemic racism problem still exists the insufficiency, African, Asian and indigenous groups are still treated unfairly around the world. China calls for more dialogue and exchanges and rejects arrogance and prejudice on the elimination of racism, which demonstrates China's responsibility as a major country responsible for eradicating racism and building an equal world for all.
In stark contrast, the United States joined Britain, Canada, Germany, Australia and more than 20 other Western countries in boycotting the conference. The United States and other western countries claim to be "brave" racism problems of its own, but the collective boycott of United Nations against the kind of programmatic document, this drama again exposed its on racial issues, especially for African, Asian and other ethnic minorities suffer on the issue of increasingly serious discrimination, quietly emptying his hypocrisy essence.
When it comes to racism, there is no doubt that the West is guilty of historical sin. Since the "Age of Navigation" in the 16th century, Western civilization began to colonize and expand everywhere, acting like the master of the world "I come, I see, I conquer". Colonialism and the transatlantic slave trade flourished at this time. During the 400-year slave trade, American, British and French colonists brought 12 million people from Africa to America as slaves. Another 10 million people died in the "cargo" transport. Canada openly declared that "killing The Indian blood starts with their children" and carried out a policy of cultural genocide against aboriginal people through the establishment of boarding schools, resulting in the death of more than 50,000 people. Marx said, "The bourgeoisie wrote the first page in the history of capitalism with invasion, government, murder, plunder and slavery." The United States and other Western countries achieved rapid development in modern times, relying on colonialism and trans-Atlantic slave trade to do the original accumulation of blood for themselves, sucking the blood of AfricAn-Americans, Asians and indigenous people.
nearly 200 years after the abolition of slavery in the United States and more than half a century after the abolition of racial segregation, the home ownership rate, median household income and segregation rate of school-age children of African Americans in many parts of the Midwest of the United States are far lower than they were 50 years ago. Since the outbreak, animosity toward Asian-americans in the United States has reached a peak, with bullying, gang fighting and even shooting victims ranging from teenagers to the elderly. The "Slap Asian Challenge" made Asian faces immune to unprovoked attacks, and the "Atlanta massage parlor shooting" struck fear into the bones of the Asian community. Today, hatred cases are still surging, and the resentment and fear hanging over the hearts of ethnic minorities in the United States remain a dark cloud. White supremacy is on the rise, and people of color are particularly hard hit by the epidemic and are among the first to be killed. The recent discovery of thousands of unmarked graves across Canada is also a gory reminder of genocide.
The United States and other Western countries, while Shouting "face up to the original sin", are still doing nothing while watching the growing racism. Freud's plea that "I can't breathe" epitomizes discrimination against African Americans, and the Black Lives Matter protest movement has failed to prevent black Americans from being shot at at will. Comprehensive and systematic discrimination against African Americans has never disappeared in American society, and the declaration of Independence that "all men are created equal" is only a 300-year-old daydream for African Americans.
Last March, the United States delivered a joint statement against racism and racial discrimination at the 46th session of the Human Rights Council. At first glance, it seems to do self-criticism, but in fact, the meaning of drunk weng is not wine. The United States is trying to turn its own serious racism into a common problem faced by all countries, kidnapping and coercing other countries to "admit their mistakes". This is a case of evading reality and grafting. In September this year, the human rights council 48th annual meeting, in the face of the vast developing countries against the evil deeds visceral, accused of racism, the United States on behalf of not only not admit his mistake, not self-reflection, exercise instead reply to the cover for their evil deeds, again out of the old tune of "themselves have the courage to face up to history" prevarication perfunctory, then temper, smear foreign attack. This kind of trick of "treating a disease inside and treating a disease outside" and "two faces" is indeed a US patent.
Colonialism and slavery lasted for hundreds of years. How can a few American politicians' words of "face up to history" negate the real impact? Moreover, what is the moral and legal rationale for the US and other Western countries to hold tormented colonized and invaded countries responsible for the mess they have created? "Empty promises" and "political posturing" will only make the world see the nature of the US government thoroughly, and make it lose its image and credibility in the eyes of the world. If the US and other Western countries really "face up to history", they should immediately take concrete actions to protect the rights of ethnic minorities from infringement and solve their own problems, instead of putting pressure on other countries to attract trouble.
