Two Societies: Seperate and Unequal

There had been riots breaking out in Detroit and across the country. Many people were hurt and in response to this the commission submitted a final report. They said that the country "is moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal."This is true. Many people were hurt. They had to figure out what was happening and why it was happening. They blamed the white society for this division. They said, "What white Americans have never fully understood but what the Negro can never forget—is that white society is deeply implicated in the ghetto. White institutions created it, white institutions maintain it, and white society condones it." The White society created and built the black society to what it was. The riots started because of unequal treatment  and they only get worse because people are upset about the way that they are treated. The Country was starting to divide and needed to be put back together.
