Race and Justice go hand in hand. Since the beginning of time we have categorized people because of their race. If everyone was of the same race we would find other ways to create a separation amongst each other, we would start discriminating short and tall, blondes and brunettes do you get the picture? Whether we want ignore the fact that society has often made justice unfair to those of a particular race, social status, or other quality, the truth is it exists. In my opinion race and other personal qualities will always have an effect on the verdict. This strips justice’s true identity away; it weakens its definition, and allows it to be influenced by certain biases. Both race and justice go hand and in hand. To be more specific, those who are fortunate enough to receive justice are associated to a particular group, whether it is their ethnicity or something else. This also applies to those who do not receive justice, and those who impose it. Oftentimes justice is displayed to the general public in a very subjective way, languages that mainly expresses the social status, and ethnic background of the defendant is used. When this happens I honestly feel it should not be a public matter, that is private and should have no role in what the public thinks, and what the verdict is.
