[QUOTE="non-religious, post: 48582637, member: 103142"] [FONT=Arial]As long as you have people of differing nationalities, colours or cultures living side by side, you will always have those that are indifferent and ignorant. You will always have some form of tension and intolerance. Sadly I think that can apply almost anywhere. There's a weird irony, in that in America there are a number of African-Americans who have achieved great things and held down positions of power and influence, way more than black people have over here. Yet, the history and segregation that still exists within many communities over there, will always consequently and invariably mean that people will form some kind of prejudice against his/her neighbour. I think that's inevitable.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]if you take what happened with Katrina or look at the statistics re black men within the penal system.
