Two large questions loom on the question of race in America.
One, after almost eight years of a black man as president of the United States, why does the country remain so deeply racially divided?
Two, why, after more then a half-century since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, do such profound social and economic problems persist in many of America's black communities?
In a recent survey from the Pew Research Center, 8 percent of blacks, compared to 38 percent of whites, agreed with the statement, "Our country has made the changes needed to give blacks equal rights with whites." And 43 percent of blacks, compared to 11 percent of whites, indicated that, "Our country will not make the changes needed to give blacks equal rights with whites."
The same survey shows gaps in income, wealth, unemployment and poverty between blacks and whites persisting with little change since the era of the civil rights movement.
