The black Trayvon Martin was killed by a white name Zimmerman. However,the white was not arrested which caused the deterioration of the race.(NBC NEWS,2012)
The race prejudice between the white and the black is normal in some states of America. Some Caucasian believe they are more important than negros, and even some negros think so. So our professor Dr. Marquardt may feel lucky to become a white,and feel more fortunate for become a teacher in China where people feel less race prejudice(but more prejudice of gay). If the killer is a black,and the victim is a white,situation will be quite different. The killer will be arrested and judged fairly,the the victim will hardly be slandered.
And also, the another big problem is the use of guns. In the United States,most of people can buy a gun even someone who is aggressive. In some states,the law of guns are so loose that people do not need to register when they purchase firearm which create the trouble more serious. If the white do not have any gun,he will not kill the teenager so easily.
Removing the race prejudice immediately is not realistic. So the best way to solve the problem is to forbid gun. But National Association for Gun Rights has a big power in whole America. The act of forbidding gun will not pass in parliament. If the president start the bill,he must lose the suggest of this association and his power. So even the accidents of guns is so frequent in America,few presidents in history had tried to ban it.
