U.S. History Question #12

"At the heart of racism is the religious assertion that God made a creative mistake when He brought some people into being."
Racism is nothing new. Racism has plagued different cultures all over the world and stained the pages of history throughout recorded history. Racism didn't wait for the modern world, nor has it faded with time. The Bible speaks of the hatred between the Jews and Gentiles, as well as the conflict between the Samaritans and Jews. Apartheid in South Africa seperated the blacks from the whites for several decades. The genocide of the Jews by the Nazis during World War II is well documented. America hasn't escaped the problem of racism either. From the time of the 3/5 Compromise at the Constitutional Convention through the Civil Rights Act of 1964 whites and blacks clashed in the United States.

Answer the following questions...

Why is racism so common around the world and throughout history?

Does racism still exist in America?

Will the issue of race ever be solved in America? Why or why not?
