Where do you see social injustice today? (week 4)
There are many social injustices in the world today, and many people do not know about them. Even they people that do know about them are doing nothing to stop these injustices. The case of Emmitt Till was a tragedy. Emmitt Till was a black teenage boy who was dared to talk to a white women. The white woman's husband found out, kidnapped him, beat him and murdered him. This is juts like Tom Robinson's case. Tom did not do anything wrong, but they still murdered him. People who killed Emmitt and Tom just wanted an excuse to kill an African American. This was very wrong and should not have happened. People saw it was wrong, but no one tried to stop the white people from murdering the African Americans. There is something that is going on in the world today that many people are not trying to stop. The genocide in Darfur is a growing problem, that barley no one knows about.The Janjaweed are sent by the government to kill many communities in Darfur. They have killed over 4,000 men, women, and children, while still killing hundreds of people a day and over 5,000 every month. They displace over 2,500,000 people. The Janjaweed use rape, displacement, organized starvation, threats against aid workers and mass murder. This is very wrong and many people are doing nothing to stop this. Thousands of innocent Darfuians are dieing for no reason at all. People need to stand up and fight against this because no one can fight a war alone. Just like Tom's and Emmitt's cases. I am sure if more people stood up against the cases, they wound not have been murdered.
