Race Relations Essay

The name entitled The state of race traffic Editorial. was written by M. Fletcher & K. Thompson was taken from the Courier-Journal website http//www.courier-journal.com/ date January 17, 2010 but was retrieved on January 27, 2010. The article focuses on racial profiling, particularly that of Black Americans by equity enforcement.The root point that Fletcher & Thompson makes is how the first year of chairperson Obamas establishment brought the country face to face with racial schisms as much as it has promoted racial understanding. It is further implied that most Americans do non completely view President Obama as African American, citing that he is Light-skinned, has no Negro dialect. and therefore not subjected to the very(prenominal) police brutality as that of dull-market skinned African Americans such as Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates jr. Gates was arrested by Cambridge, Mass police Sgt.James Crowley for disorderly conduct by and by police were called to his situ ation suspecting to find a black man breaking into the home Bates did not have his keys. All charges were after dropped.The second point suggests that while the cracking between whites and blacks has narrowed in the sometime(prenominal) decade, racial profiling and the reconciliation President Obamas option seemed to have promised mud far off. President Obama seems to be what all red blooded American didnt want in a chair black, little political experience, supposed Moslem beliefs and hope that Americans could become equal in all aspects of society.I am move to believe the difference between African Americans and Anglo Americans is growing in a coercive direction. As with Sgt. James Crowley, the view of black Americans remains relatively the same in a general sense, yet with the election of the first African American as President of The United States, the way law enforcement uses or collects data will be a basis for a corporate change in how race is viewed passim the worl d.The United States will reflect how those in authority are trained, educated and in cases where wrong doings are revealed, disciplined. No matter what changes are made in our future, wherever race is a agent there will be ignorance.
