Abstract
Race problem in America – especially between black and other races
In this project, I am going to discuss an ever-lasting problem-race. First, I will analysis Crash in order to get to the complexity and contradiction between different races. In the meantime, I will use some lasting, critical articles about races to foreshadow for my next discussion.
The reason I choose this topic is that it is a controversy in not only U.S but the whole world. United States is the largest immigrants import country in the world; it has its own severe problems because of the traditional view and modern influences. Trace back to American history, African American, originated from Africa and served as slavery in U.S for a longtime, was discriminated and segregated always. Even after the Declaration of Emancipation, white’s view of them did not change at all. After several large protest and legislative progress, although their status increased, white man’s view of them is still deep-rooted. Nowadays, the racism seem have changed to another phrase. Although white man always advocates equality of all races, in real, they still think they are superior to others; on the other hand, black people look down to Asians as well as being discriminated by white. As to express their resentment, black people invents a special gene of music—Rap. It is not surprising that you can find the lyrics are full of negative information such as sex, drug, violence, and racism. For me, it is the best way to approach their views of the American society.
