The Problem Of Racial Discrimination In The United States After The Civil Rights Movement Of The 1960’s
Authors : Bouabdallah Lachachi Lamia .
Abstract
More than half a century after the civil rights movement, Americans are once again confronted to rethink their attitudes towards race; yet, before adopting a course that will determine the future of race relations into the twenty-first century, Americans must ask some fundamental questions about race and racism. Black people consider racism as a continuing problem, which limits their liberties as full American citizens. Civil rights activists complain that Blacks suffer from racial discrimination in getting a job, being promoted, applying for a loan, seeking justice from the police or the courts, even in getting a taxi, or being served in a restaurant. Black people support Affirmative Action as a way to fight the enduring effects of white racism. The Republican Party is becoming the party of whites, while the Democratic Party is dependent on its African American voting base. The question that still pervades American thought whether America is a racist society remains doubtful in the US. The real fact today is that race is a social reality and Americans may never be able to transcend it. Moreover, racism is the primary problem threatening African Americans today, being the only explanation for their problems.
