US duplicity on human rights exposed

Editor's Note: The US State Department's human rights report, issued on June 24, makes indiscreet remarks on the human rights records of more than 100 countries and regions, including China. Also, the Information Office of the State Council, China's Cabinet, published the "US Human Rights Record 2014" on June 25 to let the world know the US' sordid human rights record. Following are the comments of some experts:

Racial issues, as a chronic illness, have always afflicted US human rights. It exists in every corner of US society and influences the daily life of the ethnic minorities. The "We" in the US Federal Constitution is actually a pronoun for white people. Although the American Civil War ended slavery and the laws gave black people their legal rights, racial discrimination still exists in many people's minds. Racial discrimination seems ingrained in US culture.
