Synopsis Political scientist Andrew Hacker's white paper on the racial divide in America compares and contrasts black and white life along issues of income and employment, education, politics, and crime. Hacker presents research into elusive aspects such as attitudes toward race, everyday perceptions of each other, and lingering social barriers based on fear, anger, and guilt. His findings are based on interviews and research into the everyday experiences of average Americans from both racial groups.
