Discrimination In The Book Just Mercy

350 Words2 Pages
Just Mercy is a book that opens the eyes of Americans who have no idea what is going on in minority communities. After reading “Just Mercy” I am horrified at how our justice system has been treating minorities in this country for decades. False imprisonment and false capital punishment is one of the worst things that I believe can happen to a person, and this book shows how often it occurs to people of color. Our Judicial system is supposed to be blind to race, religion, ethnicity, culture, gender, etc. However, as shown in the book, it is one of the most racist things in this country. I believe that the United States has made great strides over the years to combat racism and other discrimination, but it is still a problem and needs to be eradicated.
