Race-Relations

I feel like the race-relations are getting better in America today but I do see some instances where you still see racial insults within the younger generation and certain educational factors that are reared toward a certain race. My own experiences with race relations today have been from people telling me like for example my friend told me a story when she got on the school bus and there was a white boy sitting in the seat an she needed a place to sit so she had asked him she could sit with him. He basically told her that she belonged in the back of the bus where all of the black people sat referring to when the blacks sat in the backs of buses during the civil rights movement. I think that some of the important racial issues in America today for example is the presidential election. The last election, people felt like president Obama should not have been in office because he was black so the whites would not vote for him. But I have also seen some of the black majority vote for president Obama just because he is black and only based on that. That's something that I see occurring a lot in my church as well. Even though the church doesn't support just one candidate, some people within it do.
