White people need to have better race relations with minorities, you are dealing with decades of Hatred, including groups like the KKK and the neoNazis. Those groups exist for a purpose, and ALSO one could see with the election of our President how the Republicans despise the President, many based on the fact he is half African American..

The Civil War ended in 1865. Race HATRED is still around in 2014. That is 149 years. You don't erase that kind of hatred in a week, a month or a year.
