DiscussionRacism culture in the United States of America has lasted since colonial times. This involved laws and actions that discriminated certain groups based on their race and negatively impacted their daily lives. This moral code became diffuse in the United States with time, such as discrimination against black Americans. They were denied equal privileges such as restrictions on economic, social, and political freedoms. The Native Americans faced segregation from the whites and were forced into slavery and kept in reserves, which is morally unacceptable. Slavery became a norm to the fact that it was supported by Christianity and resulted in poverty among the discriminated groups as they were denied equal access to resources and forced into slavery. The war between the native Americans and the whites was also a result of this unequal treatment as they tried to fight for their freedom, which led to disorganization in the society due to lack of peace. The problem of this culture was solved according to Durkheim as racial discrimination was banned in the 20th century and declared morally and socially unacceptable. When America was served by the first black president in 2009 to indicate America was into a new post-racial era, it was evident enough.
