While I was looking at the blogs posts of other groups, Eric's post on racial issues stuck out to me. I feel like what he said was something that a lot of people want to say but never do in fear for being called prejudice or racist. I agree that racism is still present in the United States, and it is even more prevalent in some parts of the world. I also think that there are many factors that contribute to people of other races having a negative look on a certain race and I think the n word is one of those factors. It is just another thing that separates people by race when it is really unnecessary. I'm certainly not saying that everyone should be able to say racial slurs like the n word, I'm actually saying the opposite. If both blacks and white don't say the n word, then there will be less tension and separation between the two which will result in a better relationship.
Here is an article I found that shows different perspectives of racial issues from all over the world. I feel like the only way to improve racial tension is to understand both sides.
