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.

    We should of handled like Canada who pulled black homes to the ground with ship rigging during those Canadian Race Riots passed laws ''no nr/g/ro frolicking'' forced deport out of Canada told blacks who petitioned to live in our country ''the climate of Canada is not conducive to the ne/g/ro''

    It was by design they have a little over 2 percent blacks

    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.

    Because a huge chunk of it is predominantly one color. Theres minimal integration in about 70% of the country. So... in those areas, racism is still a problem.

    Source(s): Fortunately, I live in the 30% thats predominantly multi-racial.

    the western world hasn't moved on at all. i've lost count on the number of online videos of angry British women on trains ranting on other races 'taking' over Britain. And countries like Canada are pearly white and don't have the racial diversity (at least not the same level as USA) so chances of having race problems are very low. apples and oranges. but you already knew that !

    Partly because the KKK indoctrinated their children from birth.

    You are truly deluded if you think the Western World has moved on.
