My positive image is one of Martin Luther King a key activist in the civil rights movement. He spoke out against racial discrimination through non-violent means. For me he embodies the fact that racial prejudices can be overcome and a racially segregated nation can be drawn together in communities where everyone is treated equally and not judged by the colour of their skin.
My negative image of America would be that of the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) a racist hate group intent on violence and oppression of other ethnic groups to 'protect' the rights of white Americans. They symbolise the underlying racism that still exists in the US. While they still exist the US cannot call itself a racism free nation; but by electing Barack Obama as president its a step in the right direction.
