Race Problem in America & How to Solve It
If there were no race problems, this world would be a better place, but alas, there will always be race problems as long as there is human pride. But race problems could be minimized and humans of all races could learn to accept, love and live together in harmony. Race problems are the most sensitive issues of our modern time. America thought she has buried her race problems of the 60’s, but it was a sophisticated burial.

An article in Alberta Report November 19, 1984 reports that: “Racism means you’re judged before you stand up for yourself.” Racism means more than that. Racism is despicable.

But the “poor Whites” felt threatened and plundered, lynched, raped and burnt their homes. The free slaves lapsed back into oblivion and ventured North for human development. Jealousy was the root cause of this
