Why does the racial divide in American continue to widen?

Last week was a bloody one for Dallas police officers. A former soldier named Micah Xavier Johnson opened fire on police officers at a Black Lives Matter march in Dallas. The event was peaceful until Johnson fired at police officers from a parking garage. Johnson shot twelve officers and two pedestrians. Unfortunately, five officers didn’t make it home to their families.

The police used a robot to detonate and kill Johnson. Authorities found an arsenal in Brown’s home and learned that Johnson had retaliated for two police shootings involving black men in Minnesota and Louisiana. Johnson acted on hate when he shot twelve police officers. Based on social media comments, Americans are divided on racial discrimination.

Unfortunately, racism has always existed in America. American Indians, Chinese railroad workers, African-Americans, and Japanese-Americans have experienced hate based on their skin color. During WWII, the American government placed innocent Japanese-American citizens into internment camps. So racism is nothing new.
