Rise of Barack Obama as president of the United States in 2008, is touted as the end of racism in the superpower. Unfortunately, the data suggests otherwise. Under the leadership of Barack Obama the first black president of the racist attitudes of the people that Uncle Sam actually increased.It is based on a study conducted by the Associated Press late last year. Based on the survey it appears that both implicit racist attitudes, or explicitly increase suvei than four years ago when Barack Obama recently appeared as the number one.The low overhead on the study, 51 percent of the people of the United States acting racist ekslisit. In 2008 only 48 percent of its value. When measured by implicit racial behavioral tests, the number of American people have sentiments against black anti jumped to 56 percent, while the figure was 49 per cent at the 2008 election. Not only to blacks, the majority of Americans also keep anti-Hispanic sentiment is very high.
AP based survey in 2011, 52 percent of non-Hispanic white people behaving anti-Hispanic. The number is then increased in last year's survey to 57 percent. Numerous studies prove that Barack Obama did not do much in the policy issued prominoritas. Blacks remains a second-class in the field of economics and law. The United States remains the land is not friendly to minorities and especially for the black population.In 2012, the proportion of blacks are incarcerated in the United States is higher than in South Africa in the apartheid era. Blacks in prison undergoing probation, prison or parole were more numerous than the period of slavery in 1850.In addition, although the population of African-Americans only 13 percent of the entire population of the United States, 39 percent among all detainees and inmates are blacks. "In short for African Americans, the United States is a large area of injustice," said Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow; Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindnes. Based on data from the National Urban League, NGOs advocate for civil rights, it appears that in the period 2009-2012, household income black residents decreased 11.1 percent.
That is higher than the decrease in family income whites (5.2 percent) and Hispanic families (4.1 percent). Even the number of unemployed blacks averaged 14 percent or twice the average white man. In the mentioned book documenting Desegregation, racial equality in the world of work was achieved after 1960, but its development stopped in 1980 and continued to deteriorate in a number of industries since then.
