Inequality issue really exist in the U.S.

About a few years ago, one of my favourite TV show was The Practice (1997). I probably learn so many things from the show--I've learn English from the movies and TV shows.
And I did learn a little bit about the United States of America's culture. I was quite shock to learn that inequality issue does exist in the U.S..

I was shocked? Because this is the country forcing many countries in the world to change to democracy system--fundamental democracy system idea came from all human beings are equal, right?
They invaded Iraq and keep invasion other countries:

• USA has banned 7 Muslim countries which USA is currently bombing 5 of them and.... @ January 29, 2017
• Terrorism facts are there. But nobody believe or can see that. @ February 2, 2017
• Iraq invasion - I strongly suggest to watch 'Why We Fight' documentary. @ March 22, 2019

How democratic country has death row!?

My friend in facebook link the article: Marcellus Williams: Missouri set to execute death row inmate despite new evidence suggesting he is innocent | The Independent @ 22 August 2017 by Benjamin Kentish

A death row inmate in the US state of Missouri is about to be executed – despite new DNA evidence suggesting he is innocent.

Marcellus Williams, now 48, was found guilty of the August 1998 murder of Lisha Gayle, 42, at home in St Louis. He was convicted and sentenced to death three years later.

"There is no physical evidence, no eyewitnesses that directly connect Williams to the murder, the DNA on the weapon wasn't his, the bloody footprint at the murder scene wasn't from Williams' shoe and was a different size, and the hair fibres found weren't his.

"It was someone else that killed Gayle, not Williams."

So many doubts. But the U.S. justice system just kept go on--death row.


Here--this is what I think I saw similar thing from The Practice 1997 TV shows.

Williams' supporters also highlight the racial inequality in the US that means black defendants are much more likely to be sentenced to death than white defendants, especially if the victim is white, as Ms Gayle was.

The pool of possible jurors in Williams' trial included seven African Americas but all but one were blocked by the prosecution, leaving a jury that consisted of 11 white people and just one black one, despite almost half of St Louis inhabitants being black.

"despite almost half of St Louis inhabitants being black."

Broken justice system.

That means broken democracy system.


No wonder, when I was in Malaysia for learn English, many of European travellers who I met during semester break, talked about 'how strange the U.S.' democracy system is.'
