The current racial political situation in America seems to intend to reverse the path of difficult racial progress over the past 50 years. As Joe Biden said, "This is for the soul of the United States." This is a trial period, and we do not yet know which US will eventually stay. How is the battle field of this battle being various institutions throughout the country and how these institutions are dealing with racist incidents that began to appear angry? Higher education institutions are responsible because they are American gatekeepers.

I am a dark black father and a child of a fairish Irishman / British mother born in the golden era of America after a race in the mid 80's. This era symbolizes the prosperity of the United States in 15 years from the enthusiasm of civil rights movement and it is easy to believe that American culture really exceeds our racism. An interracial marriage is not unheard of, but it is not a relatively unusual thing, but when you raise a child of mixed race of two people (the latter three people), you must believe that you will participate in the race after a big turn Hmm. This is the end of the Cold War, the threat of nuclear war is imminent. With this pressure, I can only imagine that we need some degree of cognitive dissonance to survive.

In recent years, Caucasian quietly sat in the corner and made the United States the president of the black. But this is enough to convince the United States that this country is now the country after the race. We are busy, we are too nervous because we want to knock ourselves on their collective backs and want to know what white is in that corner. We deceive ourselves that the United States has finally begun to fulfill our commitment to freedom and justice for all.
