Welcome

I'm a US history student, and my teacher has asked us to blog about a particular theme. I have chosen the theme of race. Even though this country has been very diverse for many years, there are still a lot of negative stereotypes about races. The following link documents the persistence of racial stereotypes in America. It find poll respondents less willing to admit to racism, yet still likely to consider African Americans less intelligent or more lazy. As a kid I use to believe that this country was a perfect place where everyone got along, but the older i grew the more I realized what was really going on. I believe that racism is still going on and the best we can do is have more people speak up about it and take responsibility for whats going on around us.
