One should be able to empathize with African American's who have had to live in a country that for many years turned a blind eye to racism. Imagine the influence and impact it had on their upbringing and their out look. This country is judgmental toward the adults from that period who still remember segregation and forced busing. These individuals grew up with the residue of rejection and a sense of not belonging or accepted. Hopefully one day psychology will be the medium that will not shrink from such injustice but provide evidence of how such influences can impact ones choices and can deflate trust. Hopefully one day psychology will reveal the truth about the onslaught of abuse to a nation of people who were forced to live in this country and forced to feel ashamed of their heritage. Thank God that today the future for all children has a promising out look and not as bleak as it was for the children of such an oppressing period in time. Someone needs to take the lead in apologizing to these American citizens by acknowledging the truth.
