Disparity in Justice: How Positive Change is Made Difficult To discuss racial issues in today’s political climate is to walk on a tight rope in an effort to open Pandora’s Box. With the media coverage of police brutality and the rise of groups such as “Black Lives Matter”, Americans are once again faced with the topic of racial discrimination in our justice system.

remains profoundly revered despite the evident unhappiness resulting from the actions of America’s political system. Although the government places itself on a pedestal of righteousness, social inequality, the electoral college, super PACS, and gerrymandering all mar American history and expose the reality of America being a not so democratic nation. The facade of democracy circulating throughout America’s blood began immediately after the last quill stroke of John Hancock’s bold signature on the
