What are your thoughts on racial tension in today's society compared to 50 years ago?

Question

would you say it has subsided or reamined relativley similar.

Answer 1

I would say no, not really. Compared to 50 years ago when people were outwardly racists, today they merely hide it under the facade of civility.

Answer 2

I believe its getting better. At the grade schools ele. I see alot of mix children on the play grounds and there playing with each other. share all kids have there group of friends . As of 50 yrs ago you no you would of never seen that. Of course there are some who hate other races, only because at home or neighbor hood they live in. I say talk to a older person who been there 50yrs ago.Tension is still there but it seems like it's a little free'er.

Answer 3

Definitely better, each year there are more interracial relationships and kids. I think we just publicize more incidents via the internet, cable tv, etc. It's more social status now than race. If you go to a rich area and look poor, you are judged no matter what color. If you look like you have anything and go to a low income area, you are judged. I don't care if it's a black neighborhood or a trailer park with only white people. I am german/mexican so I see (and hear) both sides.

Answer 4

Not as much now but people are still racists because won't openly show it like people did 50 years back.

Answer 5

It has reversed. Back then the whites physically opressed the blacks. Now the blacks go around yelling descrimination and expecting a handout from everyone. Now the whites feel opressed.

Answer 6

Still the same.. only people disguise it by other means nowadays!

Answer 7

Better but still not great.

Answer 8

HANG ALL NONE COUNTRY MEN
