Future
To tell you the truth, there are things that we need to fix so we could avoid racial problems in the future. If we tried, in the next 5-10 years racial problems could be removed. TO find the answer to these problems however, we need to look into the past and modern time. In the past, black people used to be slaves until the Civil War. Then after the Civil War, they treated wrongly and have been called nigger more than often. They were lynched if they conversed with white women. Look at Emmet Till. He was murdered just for whistling at a white woman. Even though his death sparked the civil rights movement, he didn’t deserve to die just for whistling at a white woman. Now in modern time, we have to be careful when we use the word nigger. After the Civil Rights movement, they haven’t been scared to attack the person that uses the word nigger. When actually think about it, they use the word themselves. My friend was jumped just because he used the word around a whole group of black people. I believe that to end these problems we need to have people with open minds. Really, there has to be respect going all around the world. There shouldn’t be any use of the word or any type of racial word that can hurt someone emotionally or bring back some old scars from the past. There may different uses of this, such as using punishment. It will eventually get rid of all racial digression and create a bit of peace for a long time. It all depends however on the president of the United States and to see if he/she can do anything to create this peace. I have given my suggestions, but now it is in the president's hand.
