US judicial system ‘completely corrupt, racist’: Researcher

The United States is a “failed human rights state” and a “very sick society” where black people have been “marginalized” and “exploited” throughout its history, a researcher and historian in Washington says.

The US judicial system is “completely corrupt, racist, and biased” because it allows white people to get away with murdering African-Americans, said Randy Short, a member of the Black Autonomy Network Community Organization.

“Blacks are being purged from the cities, purged from government and municipal jobs, we’re being marginalized, we’re overly incarcerated,” Short told Press TV on Thursday.

“The United States is a failed human rights state when it comes to the condition of the African-American national minority grouping, even the United Nations has condemned the United States,” he contended.

“In spite the lies of the media, it’s beginning to sink into large numbers of people that this is a very sick society as Dr. Martin Luther King described it in the 1960s,” he said. “The power structure based on genocide, slavery, American apartheid, marginalization, colonialism, war and capitalism is the status quo.”

According to a new poll, a majority of people in the United States, especially African- Americans, say race relations are worsening in the country.

Only 40 percent of Americans believe race relations in the US are “good,” while 57 percent believe it is “bad,” according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Nearly a quarter of respondents – 23 percent – told pollsters that the current state of the country’s racial issues is “very bad,” the most pessimistic assessment of racial issues in almost two decades.

The new wave of pessimism follows weeks of nationwide protests over the deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of white police officers.
