Despite there being racism and discrimination today, race relations are much better now than they were decades ago. What is attributed to the massive improvement of race relations? Government policies or cultural changes in American society?
I think it's a combination of both.

I would tend to give Government little if any credit. They do a pretty good job today of trying to drive a wedge in between race relations for the support of their base. Its very shameful but most folks simply ignore it and call it politics..
I think TIME more than anything should get the credit for a more civil society we have today where race is concerned.

So you don't think the Civil Rights Act had anything to do with the changes?
I don't know what society you live in, but it seems to me that today things are much less "civil" just based on listening to any of the violence-related trash mouth right wing talk radio folks.

I think it's a government driven change. I think most racism is due to few opportunities to interact with members of other races in respectable situations. When we start socializing, before long there are mixed kids running around.
It's too bad that white America has chosen to accept lawful bigotry and African Americans have chosen not to get educated and demand a restoration of McDonnell Douglas Corp v Green, which was destroyed by St Mary's Honor Ctr v Hicks.

Absolutely, it's both. Culture and laws are constantly working in tandem.
Our federal guv is one of the biggest bigots in the history of the world. Race relations have improved despite its meddling and playing favorites.
I agree; white privilege is a terminal virus.
