Abstract

The racial issue in the United States has always been a highlighting focus. Some people think that American racial discrimination has been eradicated, and the racial issue between blacks and whites is completely settled with the improvement of blacks’ social position. Is the fact like what people expect? The paper is designed to explore the roots of racial issue in the US from whites’ mainstream culture and blacks’ subculture, as well as their different ideologies, in attempt to expose the fact that only when American whites and blacks cultural barriers are overcome can the two cultures coexist equally, but it has a very long way to go.
