In "The Lynching of Jube Benson", a story about racial crime, Jube is lynched after being accused falsely of rape. Not only it happened, for this case, but for thousands of innocent African American slaves who were found guilty without proof. due to racial hate. And, majority of these crimes, were caused by white people, but because they felt "superior", it was a norm that was followed for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, African Americans had no say in it.
This story made me feel that although this country is represented as the land of the free, many sufferings had to occur in order to proof that this is what this country offers. Just because you are a certain color, does not mean any race is superior or better. We are all humans, and as human rights, no human should be higher than another.
I still feel that in many cases today, racial, unjustified crimes still exist. Not only white to blacks, but communities where certain races feel higher than another.
