Current Events on Equality
In class we have been discussing the racial equality issues and the protests that went along with the civil rights movement. Even though racial equality has improved throughout the years since the Civil Rights Act, one recent survey points to the idea that “Racial Equality is still not a reality.” Sixty-eight percent of blacks in the poll say that racial equality is still over a hundred years away. One source even claims that the election of our first black president, Barack Obama, has actually discouraged progress in race relations. People who are unhappy with his term tend to blame it on his race. While whites believe there is more racial equality, blacks don’t see it that way.
