In addition, a report from The Sentencing Project found that state-level voting bans have a disproportionate impact on Black and Latino voters. According to the report, “One in 19 African Americans of voting age is disenfranchised, a rate 3.5 times that of non-African Americans.”

Although the U.S. boasts that every American is equal to live, enjoy liberty and pursue happiness, and keeps telling the world it is inclusive and open, the shadow of racial discrimination continues to loom.

Politicians fail to bridge the racial divide, but use minority groups as a tool for their elections, which fails to realize true democracy. On the contrary, it will only worsen social problems like racial discrimination and aggravate the division of American society.

“China has always assisted Cameroon in the health sector and this time it is the turn of West region to benefit,” said Datouo, the main organizer of the campaign.

Of course, nowhere does its reporting advise its readers to access Russian language news articles (even through a universal translator) and that there in this rich seam – all the content published by The Grayzone will be found – together with far more. If the US, UK and EU were not supporting Neo-Nazism in the Ukraine – what would The Grayzone be reporting? What would be its slant on the Western status quo?

Gary Younge, a sociology professor at the University of Manchester, once commented that dollars play a decisive role in U.S. politics. He wrote, “U.S. elections: no matter who you vote for, money always wins.”

In 1863, the ideal democratic government of the United States was depicted by then-U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in his landmark Gettysburg Address as the “government of the people, by the people, for the people.”

More than 150 years later, the fig leaf of democracy can no longer cover up the corruption of the American political system. Kishore Mahbubani, a Singaporean scholar, put it best in his book The Asian 21st Century. “Americans are proud of their democratic political system. But the facts show that America has increasingly come to resemble a plutocracy, where society is governed of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%.”
