"We the people, in order to form a more perfect union." In that legendary quote, there is one word that stands out, and that is the word "we". Not just one person alone can improve a big problem such as US race relations.We need to unite and work together. When I say "we", i do not just mean African Americans. I mean EVERYBODY. Everyone has their own complicated past, not just African Americans, so we cannot always dwell on the past because it hinders our efforts to make a better future. As Obama says in his speech, :...We cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together." We cannot improve US race relations by simply providing better jobs, houses, or cars. Rather, we can improve this problem by accepting one another.
Obama, Barack. "A More Perfect Union." National Constitution Center, Philadelphia. 18 March 2008. Speech.
Mother_Re-born presents a very clear and logical point in this blog post. The United States had been a country of separation and stereotypes, within the many races it holds, since its discovery. In agreement to both president Barack Obama and Mother_Re-born's opinions, the people of this country need to work together as a whole, rather than an bunch of individual entities, to help secure the race relations in this country. Its time for change and the only ones that can make that happen are ourselves.
