In fact, this nation-state has had a long history of racial discrimination practices, which are still common today. In American society, on the one hand upholding egalitarian values, but on the other hand the practice of discrimination based on race and skin colour is frequently still happen. Racial issues are still part of the dynamics of life in American society today. This study aims to analyze the existence of racial discrimination practices in a modern society of America. The method used here is by observing various literatures related to the subject raised, either in the form of paper writing and books that are helpful to give any information and data, so that they can be used as guidelines in the process of research. The result of this study shows that racial discrimination in America is a legacy of thought from the long history of the dynamics of the formation of this nation-state, and a form of certain claims by some white people to the ownership of the American homeland as ah new nation's territory. It can be concluded that racial issues in America are combination of a number of important factors, namely history, human resource and sentiment.
