You may be interested in the present situation of Black Americans today. It is true that their conditions have changed for the better since the mid - 1970's. Many Blacks are attending colleges and three -fourths Black college students are now studying in the formally all -white institutions. Better education offers better openings for Blacks. With better employment, the percentage of Blacks doing skilled labor rose after the 1970's by about 76 %. Many Blacks entered the middle class and moved out of the slums. Many have been elected to governmental positions.
Whatever they might be, however, they must share with other Blacks the bond of being Black. Frustrated by white xenophobia (恐惧人) or superiority, all Blacks suffer from various forms of racism(种族歧视). Nobody can ignore the fact that over a third of all Black Americans are still living below poverty level. Statistics tell us that half of all Black children grow up in poverty and almost 2 million Blacks are jobless, that is, over 12 % of the Black work force is unemployed. The rate is 2. 5 times than for Whites. In comparison with Whites, Black families earn so much less than is needed for a decent(像样的) but modest living standard. Usually a Black family’s income is only 55% that of a white one. While seeing the rise of a few Blacks, we must notice at the same time that far too many Blacks are living in hopelessness and despair from which they have little hope to escape.
Who can guarantee that the unemployed will accept their lot quietly, or that the despairing will contain their anger forever? Americans are far from achieving the goal of a color - blind society. Black problems are still a national issue to be solved.
