public concern. While it may seem that the debate has resulted in racial equality there is still a large amount of evidence proving that racial equality has not become global and not all people agree on the real racial equality of humans. As once H. G. Wells said‚ “Our true nationality is mankind.” we are all human beings who are equal in soul‚ but in order to be able to widespread this belief and to promote racial equality actively‚ there are many policies that have to be pursued by every individual

We as a society have deluded ourselves into believing we have achieved equality. Of course we have. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 declared any form of racial segregation illegal‚ yet it seems that we can not wait to separate people with picket fences and barbed wire.
