relations in the U.S. far more than any racial differences. The never ending struggle of the
"have-nots" to become one of the "haves" produces a frustration and feeling of oppression
that acts as a catalyst for spawning racial tensions. Minorities see the majority of wealth in
the hands of the white population and feel that the wealth is unevenly distributed. Whites
hear of government programs for minorities and feel as if they are lazy or just looking for a
handout. This occurs and stereotypes are formed. Combine all of this with the United States
