In recent news we have seen  a jump in news coverage of issues about racism in Anerica.

Although America is sometimes seen as a dumb down society because of irresponsible media coverage and lack of address of important issues, we can see why america still has a problem with racism and a bad reputation with the international community because of the neglect of addressing the issues of race, ethnicity and the cultural development of the country and the cities and towns upon which the country builds itself from and bases itself upon.

In order for America to grow it cannot neglect the domestic issues of the country, but it must address domestic issues in order to construct a means in which the country can repair the reputation that plagues the image of Americas past, present and future.

This can be accomplished throug the develpoment of business, governmental and political Policy development and through the development of national mainstream concern about the future of the country.

Provided her are a few things that have been in recent news media.

Institutional  and Academic Racism:

If the media wants to address racial issue in america, the task is simple, the media must bring more attention to all-white fields such as the Architectural Profession where racism is rampant, unmonitored, uncontrolled and accepted in a clandestine or (kkk,Neo-Nazi /mob group) like manner, in the past racist hid behind masks but today tey hide behind suits and ties and so-called successful reputations, basically white collar crime deliberatly done or made to negetively effect black individuals and black america...many blacks also ( in order to be accepted) get caught up with white/mainstream america and make numerous racist mistakes  and make racist acts against thier own black people and black heritage which further irritates and extends the problem of racism in america.
