In less than half a century black men have gone from being killed simply for whistling at a white woman to an increase of five hundred and four percent in mixed marriages over the last twenty five years (Woodgate, 2010). Unfortunately all social change is slow. Old habits tend to die hard and a lot of suffering has to occur all along the path of progress. Race will perhaps forever be a factor in American civilization but the line will grow to be blurred as time pushes back in opposition to nearly three hundred years of human mistreatment. Racial hate is a strong feeling that needs very little to surface with some but to endure it must have social significance to inspire others to comparable levels of hate. As these racial typecasts gradually break up throughout incremental augmented levels of acceptance within the bigger society, that actuality will center less on skin color and all what that involves in a person's awareness. Those who persist on enabling these hateful typecast are more likely to be relegated to a cult status by the conventional culture than as a severe threat for social disturbance (Woodgate, 2010).

The enthusiasm with which so many Americans voted for Barrack Obama carried over to his inauguration and persisted through the first half of his first year in office. Many people asked if America could at last let go of its racist history. Sadly, political parties and leftist ideologies that found public policies on social and economic classifications will in no way be able to envision human beings as individuals. They will always view people as members of some set and conquer racial classifications. Even though many liberals have first-rate aims and want to assist others, their plans have enabled tension among social groups. Such plans have done more damage than good to the very neighborhoods they try to help (Anderson, 2010).

The vast preponderance of times that race gets national attention are when left-wing political leaders, media leaders, associations, or specialists utilize it as an instrument for political or personal feasibility. Playing the race card and pitting factions against other factions...

America has moved beyond evaluating a person based on race as substantiated by the election of President Obama (Anderson, 2010).
Race relations in America started with the morally disgusting and racist organization of slavery. Many of the founding fathers were aware that slavery was an inexcusable institution given the character of the Declaration of Independence but it was a matter, unfortunately, that they could not determine prior to shaping the country. From the depths of such dehumanizing racism, nevertheless, America has risen to turn out to be a country in which racism lives in feeble places on the boundaries of society (Anderson, 2010).

America has come a long way in the area of race relations. Even though there are still issues that exist and some things that may never be solved, the progress that has been made is remarkable. Many advances have been made over the years, but with the election of Barack Obama as President the boundaries that had once existed where demolished a little more. It is thought that this trend will continue and race relations will continue to improve. As a country we still have work to do. Unfortunately change is often slow to come. So people need to be patient and keep working towards the ultimate goal of everyone for who they are and not strictly for what color they are.
