Only rich people's lives matter in America

Many people protesting the death of George Floyd are seen carrying banners "Black Lives Matter." However, the bitter truth about America is that only rich people's lives matter. Similarly, some people are seen carrying posters "I Can't Breathe." Again, the ugly reality of America is that only the rich can breathe freely in America. Racism and discrimination of the deprived segments of society are an integral part of the American system. The American system was founded on the pillars of racism, exploitation and discrimination. The native Americans were the first victims. They were robbed of their lands, hunted like animals and their population was wiped out through treachery as when they were given blankets contaminated with small pox virus and buffalo, the animal that they were dependent upon, was hunted to near extinction in order to cause starvation. The next victims were the Blacks. They were captured like animals from Africa, shipped like cargo to America and auctioned like livestock. Super exploitation of these slaves laid the foundation of American prosperity. America annexed a huge chunk of Mexico and exploited the cheap labor of Mexicans and other Latinos to work in the farms and orchards. The Chinese labor was exploited to build the railroad and suffered one of the worst oppression and humiliation. The poor white immigrants were used to fight the wars of expansion and aggression. Even though all minorities and poor faced discrimination, the Blacks have suffered the worst. Slavery was abolished with adoption of the 13th amendment in 1865. However, the Vagrancy Law of 1866 authorized local law enforcement officials and overseers of the poor to arrest, detain, hire out to work, or expel anybody who had no obvious means to support, refused to work at wages normally paid in the locality, or went begging. Obviously, slavery was practiced without calling it slavery. At the end of the Civil War, the US government promised every former slave 40 acres and a mule; to this day this promise has not been kept.
