There may be some difficulties, some interruptions, but as a nation and as a people, we are going to build a truly multiracial, democratic society that maybe can emerge as a model for the rest of the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
But I think the possibility of a black and white society feeding each other's expertises, living harmoniously, will probably go along in fits and starts now but at least it has a great constitution now to back it up.
The historical problem of the United States is to admit that it is a multiracial and multi-ethnic nation.
Let there be no illusions about the difficulty of forming this kind of a national community. It's tough, difficult, not easy. But a spirit of harmony will survive in America only if each of us remembers that we share a common destiny.
By dismantling the narrow politics of racial identity and selective self-interest, by going beyond 'black' and 'white,' we may construct new values, new institutions and new visions of an America beyond traditional racial categories and racial oppression.
It may be a task that's so Herculean, but I think it's a worthy goal to try to open up America to individuals who just so happen to have a different skin color, that they have every right and every freedom to think what they want to think.
I think we should all come together, and that race and color or social demographics really don't matter.
We are trying to construct a more inclusive society. We are going to make a country in which no one is left out.
We have a vision of South Africa in which black and white shall live and work together as equals in conditions of peace and prosperity.
Our culture, language, history, and values are vital to uniting us as a nation.
We seek to create a united Democratic and non-racial society.
