    • am i surprised, no not really

      The United States of America is one of the most internally ethnically prejudices countries on the planet. we are also one of the most culturally diverse. the election of the first black president will show exactly how prejudices this country can be.
      civil rights movement made great progress for the advancement of social minorities. during these time the white majority fought tooth and nail to not recognize people of color as equals.

      the first black students to go to a desegregated school where met with both physical and verbal assaults. in many cases black students had to be protected by police just to get to school.

      Jacky Robinson the first black baseball player was met with threats from players and fans.

      the first black anything has always been met with an upraising of white repressions.

      this is only the tip of the iceberg, unlike previous generation that move to action to make necessary changes, it is this generation that will have to continue to take necessary action but also have the long uncomfortable conversation about the prejudices in this country.

      No it is not an easy conversation but it is vital to moving forward.

      we are going to have to talk about: the genocide of the Native American people, The enslavement and trade a Africans, Jim crow laws, Japanese internment, Segregation, the economic divide between ethnic groups, police brutality of minorities, the education system in its treatment of students of color.

      and if you cant see this as the problem (your probably a white male) then the conversation needs to be even more in depth.
