Why does the USA still have a race problem?
The civil war ended over a century ago. Segregation ended over 50 years ago.
Why is it that the USA still seems to have a race issue?
Much of the western world has moved on, why can't the USA?

Other countries were not built on the theory of white supremacy, and they did not continue the principles of slavery after emancipation through Jim Crow laws, lynching, redlining, other discriminatory laws, systemic racism in its institutions and unequal justice in its justice system. Black Americans who travel abroad feel a relief from the kind of discrimination, suspicion, profiling and false assumptions that they face every day in the U.S. Thanks for asking.

Ask the people who keep making it an issue that question, and let me know what you find out.

Because we aren't fast enough

The reason is because racial relations were stabilizing in the nineties like in the rest of the world, but it is much easier to control people when they believe that there is an outgroup. Race relations were really good in the nineties, but over compensation- like afirmative action, calling everybody racist, etc. Have made it worse.

Partly because the KKK indoctrinated their children from birth.
