Racial Discrimination Will Never Stop, Even in Justice

Have you ever faced discrimination because of your race? Are the cops suspicious of you because of your ethnic
background? Many individuals are unaware that racist police officers discriminate against black people every day. In
general, today's culture views black people negatively and believes they are aggressive and constantly up to no
good. It is not fair to them to be denied the same benefits as us simply because they do not resemble us. A person's
character cannot be judged based on their race. Racial profiling is unlawful and has a significant influence on how
white people view black people's conduct. We should all be raised on equal footing and not be labeled as the worst.
According to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "Injustice everywhere is a danger to justice everywhere," and in today's
criminal justice system, justice is not always delivered, and offenders are not always given a fair shot. Injustice
against a criminal is still injustice, and these injustices frequently arise due to differences. One of the most significant
distinctions between Martin Luther King Jr.'s period and today's judicial system is the treatment of people depending
on their race. Race influences the treatment of persons facing the death penalty in a variety of ways; all of the tiny
things build up to a larger issue, race. The case of Walter McMillian exemplifies the lack of equity in the court system.
There has been proof, including testimony in court.
In 1986, an 18-year-old white woman named Ronda Morrison was murdered in downtown Monroeville, Alabama.
After six months with no leads or suspects, their attention focused on Walter McMillian. A white man accused of
crimes in another county was pressured by police and ultimately made false statements accusing Mr. McMillian of
murdering Ms. Morrison. He was arrested by Monroe County Sheriff Tom Tate and eventually charged with capital
murder. The sheriff arranged for Mr. McMillian to be placed on death row before his trial—when he hadn’t even been
convicted of a crime. Walter McMillian was sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit.
Discrimination in the administration of justice, whether in policing, criminal charges, trials, sentencing, or
incarceration, may do exceptional harm to both people and society, with long-term effects for future generations. The
evidence is overwhelming: racial profiling, harassment, verbal abuse, and power abuse by law enforcement
authorities are common in many nations.
Overall, the question remains unsettled: Is the criminal justice system genuinely representative of justice? The
answer will not be obvious no matter how many times men ask themselves this question. Regardless of who they
question, the response will always include a split by color. But one thing is certain: our legislation has been used to
condemn countless young people, wreck their lives, and burden them with a criminal record for life, and it is now
being used to damage the character and good name of an innocent man.
