Kerner Commision Reports on US Racial Inequality

Many of todays Politicians ignore racial and minority issues and arent adequetly addressing problems faced by minorities like whether they should reduce or increase racial inequalities because of the kerner commision in the past. Lyndon B Johnson warned america was leading to two different societies one black and one white. Seperate and Unequal. President Johnson never acted on this in 1968 and now people think this is to blame for not taking action now on minority issues. Do you think by not acting in 1968 affects the us with minority issues from today?

  1. I belive that there would be alot less racial tention but I dont think it would change everything. It takes time for these types of issues to be fixed and many people still dont have the same respect for other races. To answer your question I belive that it would be diffrent but it wouldn't be perfect.

  2. I think that by Lyndon B. Johnson's failure to act on the two different societies that America was leading affects the U.S. minority issues we have today. If he were to act on the issue, it would not have completely fixed the minority issues that we have but the issues would be less extreme. Therefore, it would be different but there would still be controversy.
