Racial groups have come along way since the days of our ancestors (slavery, lynching, segregation) but in today's time there still lies an ounce of animosity between different races. What's the root? Is there true justification to like one race less - or are we holding onto the past and keeping ill feelings within the limits of what the law will allow?

To the comment that 75% of violent crime is committed by African-Americans I say this:
That's the type of misinformation that keeps ill feelings going. If you really dig into the statistics you will know these interesting facts (that always seem to be forgotten):
More than 50% of the Prison population in the U.S. of a male prison are Caucasian men (so where's the 75% African American violent troupe you're referring to? Were the absent for the roll call?)
Between 1990 and 2005, the number of white and Hispanic jail inmates increased at the same average annual rate. The number of black inmates increased at a slower pace.
Before we point the finger at a particular group as the culprit of a problem - why not educate ourselves about the ENTIRE statistics and look at the situation as a whole.

The things that happened in the past, ignorant people, and insecurity maybe that's just a few of the problems. I think it's way deeper than that.

I will start by saying right off the bat that I am not a racists. I don't like muslims because of 9/11, but other than that I am a really accepting white dude. My fiance is hispanic so. I will say that every race has their black sheep, if you will, such as; white- trailer trash, nazis- Hispanics-illegals, day laborers- Blacks- career criminals, gang members. The thing that I see most though and this is statistics speaking not me. 75% of ALL violent crime is committed by African American males between the ages of 15-35. That is statistics. White people tend to act a little bit stupid and go overboard with their egos when thinking about that statistic. There is alot of animosity with the illegal aliens right now because Tax paying citizens are going to get cheated out of the social security that we have been paying into our entire lives because illegals can come over here and claim it without having paid into it. They want their kids to go to school and not pay any school taxes which raises tax payers school taxes that they have to pay. They want everything handed to them and they aren't even citizens and they want working citizens to foot the bill. There is going to be major problems unless all of this is taken care of.

I don't believe race members of the family is best on his schedule. He sees himself as a person now not only a black guy. I despite the fact that that the speech used to be high-quality. I noticed a person speakme from the guts. I come from a combined race loved ones and I combined it extra. I heard him say allow us to stroll beyond race. To say I fully grasp any person's factor of view isn't to mention I accept as true with them. What I do see in Obama is a person conjures up humans. I see a chief who's inspiring a brand new new release of citizens. All over the nation they're registering to vote in list numbers. He now not simplest has antagonistic the Iraq struggle from the opening he'll additionally install extra troops to Afghanistan wherein the humans who attacked are hiding. Iraq demands to be dealt with however the core japanese international locations. Neither Saudi Arabia, Syria nor Egypt will permit an additional Iranian type theocracy in Iraq. He is inclined to undertaking BIG OIL who're choaking America.

we holding onto the past and keeping ill feelings because no matter what, no matter how hard we try we will always be treated unfairly, the color of our skin and the knowledge we have scares the white man. Until we learn how to unite as one people, color and race ethnicity and creed, until we learn that its not the color of the skin, we will always have racial issues and we will always be judged by our color. Still I believe their is hope.

The real problem is ignorance amongst one another and until that changes there will always be a problem in this world.
