Through reading the article of The Injustice of This Moment is Not an ‘Aberration’ by Michelle Alexander, I found an innovative perspective of viewing racial injustice in terms of the authority from politics. The point about people that uphold authority can manipulate the tendency of problems is fully demonstrated in the article in respect of the US presidents. Despite how the author stated her standpoint about the Republicans and the Democratic, she emphasizes that the action done or promoted regarding racial injustice is still all an illusion at the end. While we appear to have made progress, it is merely an appearance, there are so many systems in place that continue the systems of racial and social control which ultimately made “the nation trapped in a cycle of  racial reform, backlash, and re-formation of systems of racial and social control.

Often time, we tend to wanting to promote racial equality through the idea that “there are no differences between races” in order to enhance the similarity of human race. However, this set of idea may have caused the present crisis to be worsen. This type of mindset build up that so-called “illusion” of social justice, which causes the danger of losing the history of the person’d culture, race, ethnicity, and also the value of the individual. Therefore, we should be aware of such issue more carefully with thorough consequence simulated in this society.
