Yet in the United States‚ growing economic disparity hinders the nation’s ability to provide the high-value-added products and services necessary to compete in a global marketplace.

Racial Equality in the United States Racism has been prominent in the United States since the country was founded and is still continuing today. From slavery to segregation‚ all races were not given the equality of the white man’s up until the mid-nineties. The melting pot that we call the United States was once a world of grief for African Americans‚ Asians‚ Hispanics‚ and many others‚ and possibly still is today.
