Racism issue has surfaced in US, subsequent to the election of Obama as President of US.
The truth is that Racism has not been eradicated from the minds of people.While trying to wish away the issue,let us not forget to question ourselves honestly-has it left US? Definitely not from the mind, not for at least a section of US population.There is nothing to worry about this for what has been in existence for quite a long period of time can not be undone in a few decades.Scars remain both on the Whites and the Blacks; as a simmering agony for the latter and as an embarassment for the other.It takes time to heal ,provided US goes about the way it has been so far.One has to be patient.The present generation does not and shall not distinquish between races(always there are some fanatic elements)That is a good sign.
Carter’s statement on this issue has sparked a serious debate.’Conspiracy of silence’ on the racial issue may sound nice for short term benefit but in the long run is not good.By speaking out Carter has expressed what others have been afraid of speaking out.This will result in a catharisis for the better.
Blacks , must alo let begones be begones and integrate with the white and whites must not feel guilty for what their forefathers did, for recriminations on either side, shall bleed open the wounds.
Lumpen elements who misuse the occasion, both white and Black, should be dealt by Law to the letter.
Story.
… in Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, “Yay, right on, right on, right on, right on,” and, of course, everybody says the white kid deserved it, he was born a racist, he’s white. Newsweek magazine told us this. We know that white students are destroying civility on buses, white students destroying civility in classrooms all over America, white congressmen destroying civility in the House of Representatives. — Rush Limbaugh,

Ever the statesman, and often candid to a political fault, former President Jimmy Carter said recently that much of the animosity directed toward President Barack Obama is “based on the fact that he is a black man.”
