Race issues in America today

How would you sum up race-relations in America today, and more specifically, what is your own personal experience with it? What do you see are some of the more important issues, ideas, controversies at the heart of race-relations in America today?


Throughout the history of the United States, race issue had been major controversy and still impacts today. I have witnessed a racial issue at the airport during my immigration to the United States. It was year 2002, and cause of 9/11 terrorist attack, the airport security was really tight. Through the metal detector, I've witnessed a small family that was pulled aside by the securities due to their female family members wearing a headscarf. It happened around age 9, so I had no idea that was a really big deal. Now, I realize the country of freedom crosses the Bill of Rights, that protects the basic rights of the United States citizens. The racial issue had increase due to the 9/11 terrorist attack, and it caused the government to break the basic rights. Major racial issues still continues today, and I consider the United States can't be 'united' due to the racial controversy. The United States faced many race issued since the beginning, and it will continue to affect this country. This issue breaks the balance of freedom that our founding fathers built. The stereotype that people accuse will cause chaos due to their skin color.
