The Future Of Race Relations In Los Angeles / Jesse Jackson| introductions by Evelyn Yoshimura and Jerry U. Reverend Jesse Jackson speaks about the problems of race relations, as highlighted by the Los Angeles uprising of 1992. The United States was founded upon racist assumtions, but science has proven that there is no racial superiority. Asians, 50% of the world population, are seen as a threat by the ruling elite, which are representative of only 12% of the world. Blacks have been denied their rights, but have never learned about other minorities who have also suffered. Contemporary manifestations of racism in the United States are: police brutality of minorities, the unequal administration of justice and incarceration, and unemployment. The United States has continually excluded certain peoples from immigrating into this country, with the current target the Haitians. Jackson goes on to address the role of racism in U.S.-Japanese relations, corporate development, and the concentration of wealth into the hands of 1% of the U.S. population.
