Answer 1

I think they are a lot better than when I was a kid. I also think they are better in the south than the north.

Answer 2

I think they are horrid.

Seem like everything now a days comes down to a racial issue.
She got off because she was white, he got fired because he's black. He got fired for saying something that if a black man said everyone would have laughed, but because he's white.....

Everything is always someone elses fault. Nobody wants to take responsibility for their own actions.

The SAT's are racially biased.(But kids from other countries do just fine)

I can't get a college scholarship because I'm not a minority. (the fact that your an idiot obviously had nothing to do with it)

Sad to say, but it won't change until we have government and social leaders who aren't hypocrites.

Answer 3

I think they are getting better but they have a long way to go and they will never be perfect. The biggest divide is between black and white because of the cultural divide created by slavery. Relations get better with each generation as our black and white children participate in each other's lives in ways that were not available to previous generations. The more we know each other the more likely we are to treat each other with respect and humanity.

Race relations are complicated by divisions in class in the US as well. Rich mix with rich, poor with poor - so there is little understanding and respect between different economic classes.

Answer 4

I think that we (American society) are really being counter- productive in using racial discrimination to attempt to better society (ie affirmative action etc). The recent Supreme Court decision (Parents Vs. Seattle School District), hit it on the head with Chief Justice Roberts stating:
"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."

Answer 5

I have seen plenty of fights between same races.

But, I think that race relations have far to go, and most of the public is truly ignorant of the history of how things have been discriminatory for the every one but the white male from past to present.

All You had to do was listen to Pat Buchanan on McLaughlin group today.

Answer 6

I think it is a card that has been played.

And I think the US Constitution has adequate safeguards for people of different races, and now we need to get on with the business of improving our own existences.

(Didn't watch your video).

Answer 7

We've come a long way but still have a way to go. To wit: Nobody was lynched and no riot ensued after the bust-up (pun intended).

Answer 8

Probable better than most countries.It is doing better I think although Reverse Discrimination in on the fence post.

Answer 9

I think race relations in America would be alot better if people quit blaming others for their problems all the time.

Answer 10

To each there own.
