Religious discrimination is one of the top subjects as of now and the most talked about.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals on the basis of their religion in hiring, firing, promotions or other terms of employment. Employers may not treat employees or applicants less or more favorably because of their religious beliefs or practices and employees cannot be forced to participate or not participate in a religious activity as a condition of employment.

Employers must also reasonably accommodate employees' sincerely held religious beliefs or practices unless doing so would impose an undue hardship on the employer, although the employer does not have to accommodate the employee's religious beliefs if that accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the employer's legitimate business interest. Employers must also permit employees to engage in religious expression if employees are permitted to engage in other forms of personal expression at work, as long as the religious expression does not impose an undue hardship on the employer. Finally, employers must take active steps to prevent religious harassment in the workplace.

The owner of an "alternative" London hair salon is being sued for religious discrimination after refusing to give a job to a Muslim woman who wanted to wear a headscarf at work. Sarah Desrosiers, whose Wedge salon specializes in "urban funky" cuts, says she turned down applicant Bushra Noah because she was "selling image" and needed her staff to display their hairstyles to the public.

Ms. Noah, 19, is claiming religious discrimination and suing Ms. Desrosiers for injury to her feelings and lost earnings. Do we all have to be treated like this? Was the world made for one race only? Unlike many of our ancestors, who came out of slavery and entered this century with strong backs, discipline, a thirst for literacy, deep religious faith, and hope in the face of adversity, we have produced…a new jack generation ill equipped to secure gainful employment even as productive slaves.

Let us all remember, that we all were created by one GOD. Have we forgotten this? And Jesus said, but I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. Matthew 5:44. For it is written, as I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to GOD. Romans 14:11

Although America has a long way to go, many mistakes have been made, and current antagonisms are high, still there are hopeful signs that the nation can move toward a society in which race ceases to matter, a destination that we can term "the end of racism."
