Slavery, racism and discrimination on the basis of color or religion were part of the history of the United States in the past. But it seems that such barbaric acts are still practiced in that country at the time when the U.S., posing as a superpower, claims to be a champion of human rights in the world. The U.S. Administration often points a finger at other countries labelling them as `rogue' or `terrorist' states and even adopts punitive measures against them only because they are not willing to bow to its hegemony.

However, the same administration has not yet been able to wipe its slate clean of the medieval and barbaric practices, and the white supremacists are still active in the American society promoting racial discrimination and violence. One such supremacist is John William King, who along with his two friends Lawrence Russel Brewer and Shawn Berry murdered a black American, James Byrd, by dragging him to death behind a pickup truck in Jasper, Texas. This is a clear proof of lingering racism and violation of minority rights in that country.

Many believe that such race-motivated crimes are common in various parts of the United States. Therefore, instead of meddling in internal affairs of other countries and accusing them of the violation of human rights, the U.S. should in the first place take measures to put an end to racism, discrimination against ethnic minorities and violation of human rights in that country once and for all.

In particular, the U.S. should disband the notorious Ku Klux Klan, a secret organization of white supremacists who are violently opposed to the black people, whose members are holding key positions in some state organizations such as the police and the judiciary.
