Answer 1

Racial discrimination refers to discrimination against individuals on the basis of their race.

Almost eight years after Barack Obama was elected as the nation’s first black president , event that gave raise to sense of optimism among many Americans about the future of race relation , A series around the U.S. has exposed deep racial divides and reignited a conversation about race.

A new Research Center survey finds the differences between black and white adults in their views on racial discrimination, difficult for the blacks to progress . Blacks, far more than whites, say black people are treated .inequally across different aspects of life, dealing with the police to applying for a loan or mortgage. And, for many blacks, racial equality remains an diffficult goal.

A majority of blacks (88%) say the country needs to continue making changes for blacks to have equal rights with whites, but 43% are skeptical that such changes will ever occur.

42% of blacks believe that the country will make the changes needed for blacks to have equal rights with whites, and just 8% say the country has already made the necessary changes.

A much lower share of whites (53%) say the country still has work to do for blacks to achieve equal rights with whites, and only 11% express doubt that these changes will come. Four-in-ten whites believe the country will eventually make the changes needed for blacks to have equal rights, and about the same share (38%) say enough changes have already been made.

• Discrimination and racial inequality

• Most Americans say more changes needed to achieve racial equality

• Many blacks are skeptical that the country will make the changes needed for blacks to achieve equal rights with whites

• Blacks and whites disagree on major factors holding black people back.

• Most Americans say individual, rather than institutional, racism is the bigger problem for blacks.

• Blacks more likely than whites to see unfair treatment in the country and where they live.

Blacks and whites also offer widely different views when asked to assess the way each group is treated in their own communities. For example, majorities of black adults say blacks in their community are treated less fairly than whites in dealing with the police (74%), in the courts (69%), and when applying for a loan or mortgage (60%). In contrast, about a third or fewer whites say blacks are treated less fairly in each of these situations (35%, 27%, and 15%, respectively).

However, across many measures, blacks and whites are more likely to say blacks are treated less fairly than whites in the country than they are to say this is the case in their own community.
