Final Racism
“Do we Americans live in one nation or two? The answer depends on whom you ask. Many white people say we are one nation. But many African Americans say we are really two nations–one white, the other black; one rich, the other poor; one free, the other still bound by prejudice and discrimination.”

This raises a large issue in our country. That some see us as one nation, while others choose to divide us. Those who chose to divide our nation are the ones that chose to be racist, and make racial slurs towards others. If each person was able to look past one anothers ethnic backrounds, than it wouldn’t depend who you asked if our nation was divided, everyone would be able to say our nation was not divided. But like the division in our country between white and black, we also face division of things such as each state. Each state has different perspectives on race, and which state you come from in the U.S. has a lot to do with personality; as well as each state has a reputation of rich or poor. If someone was to state that they lived in CT it would automatically be assumed that person was rich. We are divided on many levels, yet we are also one in many ways. But we need to be one nation in all ways, so we therefor need to stop dividing ourselves from one another.
