No system is perfect in practice.
The United States is the leading democratic republic in the world, but it, too, has problems.
Not because of discrimination in the law, but because of difficulties resulting from social attitudes which have become ingrained into the society.
To understand the roots of the racial problems in the United States, we must look to history.
The African American population was held in slavery for nearly four centuries, and during that time was systematically dehumanized as a people.
Following abolition, extra-legal forms of peonage, as well as segregation in education, transport, health care and so on have existed well into the 20th century.
