Do you think that eventually the racial groups in the US will consolidate into just one?

Hopefully the next generations will be wiser, and there wouldn't really be a question of racial groups, everyone would live side by side without even noticing such superficiality, there would be so many friendships and marriages, that all would be consolidated into one happy nation, including whites.\n\nWow I think I spaced out for a minute. Wishful thinking maybe but possible!!

I agree segregate a society and it remains fractured and separated. This only further separates us rather than unites us.  America is supposed to a melting pot in which are differences are celebrated rather than criticized.  As long as people continue to look at our differences rather than our similarities, how are we to be united.

Organizations (and I mean all of them!) have a tendency to outlive their usefulness; so even if there is no racism in 2050, my guess is that the NAACP will still be around.

Sad to say but yes.  Just be careful not to be one of those people.  Remember when people do things that you find to be ignorant or senseless, it has nothing to do with their race but everything to do with the individual's character.  If people can do that then eventually racial profiling will end.  What a day that will be!!!!!

delete the word race and instead use the word culture instead, ppl would be much more much united that way instead of being seperated by their colour

Some people already do, you know.  There are people who are able to set aside prejudice, at least on a person-by-person basis.  \n\nUnfortunately, race, religion, and lifestyle often encompass pretty radical behaviors that can't fail to separate and divide people. One can make the case that some of the more extreme behaviors are designed to alienate others.  As well, extremely differing lifestyles are the result of differing economies, which are hugely disparate around the world.  \n\nSo, I guess, when everybody can put aside their extremism, whatever its origins, we'll be able to find more common ground with one another.  \n\nWe're entering into an era of global interaction on an individual level.   English, the 'language of commerce' like it or not, looks to be becoming the language of the global community.  The Internet already provides us with the method, all we have to do is be able to speak the same language enough to start communicating.   If we find we all have more in common than we do dividing us, average people may be able to succeed where heads of state have failed, in making peace.  Eventually.

I personally feel that this is part of the goverments doing. What I mean is if you think back throught american history can you ever remember a time when all people got along? Kudo's if you can because there isn't. The only difference now is that there are a lot of other ethnic people floating around. \n\nThe black population has been this nations whipping boy for many generations, and only recently did this honer get passed to the muslim/middle eastern folk. (Not trying to offend anyone at home). The more devided you are the less likly you are to unite and "beat the man" at there own endgame.\n\nAs far as interatial marrages go I am a firm beliver in "if its not what you like DON'T DO IT"! Its not for people to tell you that a white and black can't marry or any other gender/racial mix can't either. Some of the most beautiful are the product of interatial unions. Off the top of my head Vin Desil, and the Rock are both products of interatial unions. \n\nNow the white supremestis are a small section of very BITTER (ingorant)  angry white folks. For why else are there tools of choise are fear tactics and assult. Let them colinize there own section of america like the mormans did. Most of them are so messed up that they honestly belive that the holocost never happened. Come on how sick is that! \n\nThe problem in my oponion is not race it is the enviorment in which these people live. In poorer sections of town it is very sad to see these people(no need for a  lable because it effects many citizens and not one specific race) It is a problem that will be on going because the darling politions are to worried about re election. Sadly many don't vote there fore they don't really care.  If you don't belive me think back to New Orleans last year when the hurricane hit. If I am not mistaken the first people of the scene were Canadian not American. Now that is just wack!\n\nIn conclusion, I think that you are correct in that the blame game has got to stop. We have become a nation of people who can't take responsibility for there own actions. So they need to blame other people and, I find it sad. We need to stand up and stay strong in the struggle! Real quick if you want to see something that is garneteed to turn your stomach. There was an episode on Dateline where they were talking to white supremests and there were these twin girls who looked like a younger version of Mary Kate and Ashly Olsen. The things that they were singing and saying was revolting it will make you quite angry if not upest you all together. \n\nI mean come on people we are living in the 21 centery. Everyone is in need of a reality check.\n\n I also ask that you please excuse all my spelling errors!

In a perfect world there would be no distinctions b/w race, gender or even religion. But since this is the United States and African-Americans are the largest and longest established minority group, I think we can cut them some slack as the spokesman-race for all other minorities. Just a thought.

There has to be some way to form a coalition group made of people representing both "white" society, and natives. With a good effort and a lot of luck (maybe even some good prayers) something has to be found.

In the 60's when THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL was signed,they were miles apart.In the 40 some odd years since them let's hope they have grown to workable groups. As Americans we need those groups to succeed.In my latest readings, there is some evidence it is.

If you look closer at some of the groups you have mentioned you will find that there is a portion of their membership who advocates the creation of a "White nation". Logically one could assume that being in a white supremacist group would therefore mean that among the list of goals a memeber has would be to re segreate different ethnic groups from one another. Immigration works in the opposite to that practice by bringing in different groups of people into an area who do always share the same language or value systems. Its a pretty common belief (from my understanding) from white supremacy groups that anyone who isnt white has little or no place in their dreams of a "white nation"

no. people create conflict on an individual and group basis.  usually because of their own agendas.  under the listings of race you see intra-racial multiculturalism.  such as black, white, hispanic, white hispanic, black hispanic, samoan/pacific islander and asian/pacific islander etc.  any other racial combinations were listed under "other", but the word multicultural is now commonly used in it's place.\n\nmulticulturalism solidifies the cultural melting pot and promotes cohesion among various groups.  most conflicts about it are not just racial, cultural or social, but a combination of factors meant to retain specific cultural identities.  many groups take a separatist standpoint so as not to "lose" themselves and become something else.  \nto me multiculturalism is interracial and intercultural. it is the new civil rights and racial equality movement. as with anything it is a process, and it's acceptance as a natural societal evolution will not happen overnight.

It's a two way street.  Hardly a day goes by when I don't get into some sort of spat (usually harmless) with one at work, or here on Y! Answers.  It's as old as Hatfields/McCoys (although that spat is over) or Red Sox/Yankees, or Mailmen/Dogd...  It will keep on going and going....\n\nPeople talk about all the races blending into one over the next few hundred years.  That would be fabulous, but I'll bet there will still be two warring political factions here in the U.S.

Because the world is changing and diversity is the money of the future. No pure race will remain! May be one day we will find a Moslem as president of USA and an American as president of Saudi Arabia. And we already have a UK citizen as king of Jordan (Abdullah II) and a Haitian woman as Governor of Canada (Michaëlle Jean)!

Things haven't change a bit sinse then compared to 50's and 60's esp during the segregation period. Georgia, is the most racist state I know, and mississippi too. I think it's really racist everywhere, things havent changed, martin king did have a dream, that all whites and black would be sitting at the table together, well that dream did come true, because we do have alot of interracial marriages more than we did back in the day. I think now statistically, even the "majority" will disagree with this. but minorities are now becoming the majoritities....

Yes, but it isn't going to happen in our life time. Racism is perpetuated by the minority's as much as the bigots. As soon as they learn to let go of the past and stop making everything a race issue things will start to change.\nI will admit that I am prejudice. I am prejudice against lazy, ignorant people who think they are owed something. I don't care what color they are!\nIn my opinion there is only one race. The human race. It is time to stop perpetuating the ignorant old ways of our ancestors and get down to making a better world for everyone. Who's with me?

nah, don't think that will happen. America will always have different nationalities, religions, or whatever.
