We should learn easy way not the hard way like many other countries did. I support freedom of speech, but spreading hatred is not a freedom.
The article uses 30-40 yrs data.
Just to remind you guys even in Switzerland women were given voting right and to run for the election in national parliament only in 1971.
I copied following para from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_segregation_in_the_United_States,
so similar type of article can be written about US. Writing factual things doesn't bother me but using that fact against some cast is abominating. for full detail please visit the site.
Black-White segregation is consistently declining for most metropolitan areas and cities, though there are geographical differences. In 2000, for instance, the US Census Bureau found that residential segregation has on average declined since 1980 in the West and South, but less so in the Northeast and Midwest.[26] Indeed, the top ten most segregated cities are in the Rust Belt, where total populations have declined in the last few decades.[27] Despite these pervasive patterns, changes for individual areas are sometimes small.[28]
Thirty years after the civil rights era, the United States remains a residentially segregated society in which Blacks and Whites inhabit different neighborhoods of vastly different quality.[29][30]
Data on house prices and attitudes toward integration suggest that in
the mid-twentieth century, segregation was a product of collective
actions taken by whites to exclude blacks from their neighborhoods.[35]
example, Birmingham’s interstate highway system attempted to maintain
the racial boundaries that had been established by the city’s 1926 racial zoning law. The construction of interstate highways through black neighborhoods in the city led to significant population loss in those neighborhoods and is associated with an increase in neighborhood racial segregation.[36]
neighborhoods still received fewer loans, even after accounting for businesses density, businesses size, industrial mix, neighborhood income, and the credit quality of local businesses.[37] Gregory D. Squires wrote in 2003 that it is clear that race has long affected and continues to affect the policies and practices of the
insurance industry.[38] Workers living in American inner-cities have a harder time finding jobs than suburban workers.[39] Redlining has helped preserve segregated living patterns for blacks and whites in the United States because discrimination motivated by prejudice is often contingent on the racial composition of neighborhoods where the loan is sought and the race of the applicant. Lending institutions
have been shown to treat black mortgage applicants differently when buying homes in white neighborhoods than when buying homes in black
neighborhoods in 1998.[40]
By 1990, the legal barriers enforcing segregation had been mostly replaced by decentralized racism, where whites pay more than blacks to live in predominantly white areas.[35] The residential and social segregation of whites from blacks in the
United States creates a socialization process that limits whites' chances for developing meaningful relationships with blacks and other minorities. The segregation experienced by whites from blacks fosters segregated lifestyles and leads them to develop positive views about themselves and negative views about blacks.[43]
and, in particular, middle-class blacks tend to live with white neighbors who are less affluent than they are. While, in a significant sense, they are less segregated than poor blacks, race still powerfully shapes their residential options.[44]
