    Everyone needs to stop worrying about and blaming other groups for their own issues or problems

    Only way to truly fix it....for all races

    Always going to be some kind of tension even if that were to get fixed

    Will get better as younger generations go on but can't ever see everything being truly fixed....just deal with it

    The only realistic solution is Time. How about a separate Poll on if we should end Affirmative Action? At some point we're going to have to start "judging people by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin".

    Racism is propaganda created by the media with the intentions of keeping the people divided. United we stand, divided we fall. I would say that they have done a good job destroying whatwas once a great country.

    No clue what the solution is, but I'm sure a bunch of white guys on a sports betting forum can figure it out.

    When it comes to the older population there is some truth to this and the fact is I don't blame them. Younger people don't realize how recent relative equality has been in place. Older minorities really suffered in our country just 40 years ago.

    As sports fans think about it this way. In 1969 joe Namath and the jets won the superbowl . Matt Snell am African American was the jets RB he ran for 121 yards on 30 carries. He scored the only touchdown of the superbowl. Namath could hand the ball to him 30 times in Super Bowl III but the two men couldn't piss in the same mens room, or drink from the same fountain in America. That's pretty mind blowing considering how different things are now.

    Better check your math

    What about the logical segment of Americans, both black and white, who simply respect the statistics but are labeled "racist."

    The Supreme Court ended it this week in Michigan and about 10 other states have done so already. The sooner all the states join in the sooner things will get better.

    What we call racism now was called being proud of your country 2,000 years ago. If you read the Bible is all full of racism.

    Also, 8% of new American mothers were unwed in the early 60s. That number was 18% in 1980, 34% in 2002, and today is around 40%

    Wait, I'm sorry, this doesn't fit the "time will solve our problems" and "people were ignorant back then" arguments

    Yeah, you're saying the % of unwed mothers has increased since the 60's
    I can't see how it would possibly decrease?
