The Role Of Racial Segregation In The United States

In conclusion, why is racial segregation a major issue in the U.S. for the past many decades? One reason could be probably because many people are not really aware of the consequences of racial barriers such as double standards in terms of law and salary. For as long as there are no equal rights in the American society, the blacks will continue to fight for their rights. One way to tackle this issue is to even out the population in the neighborhoods. That means, not too much of whites or blacks across the states. Though this might be a very difficult and taxing thing to do, progressive efforts of integration among the different types of races in America will soon show harmony among its people. After all, segregation among blacks and whites
are not the only concern, but also other races such as Native Americans, Hispanic-Americans and Asian-Americans as well. As a whole, both economic and social trends have played crucial roles in evolving the U.S. to what it is today. Of course, there are other aspects in these two trends that have also shaped the nation, such as women’s rights and the economic boom. There are also other trends that have played major roles towards modernizing America, such as international trends like wars. But the above two aspects, both technology and racial barriers, have impacted not only the U.S. from a Third World country to a First World country, but also other countries around the globe in one way or the other. No one president is perfect, no one race is perfect, no one economy is perfect, and no country in the world is perfect. Like in the words of Vince Lombardi, “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can achieve greatness along the way”.
