A survey by the Gallup Organization reveals a sizeable minority of US populations consider black-white harmony an impossible goal.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Although most adults in the United States believe the nation’s racial divide will one day be resolved, a sizeable minority consider black-white harmony an impossible goal, a survey by the Gallup Organization revealed on Thursday.
"Fifty-seven percent of Americans in June said that a solution to relations between whites and blacks ‘will eventually be worked out,’ while 40 percent said that black-white relations "will always be a problem," a press release with the survey pointed out.
The latest results are from Gallup's June 7-July 1 Minority Rights and Relations poll, which was conducted before events of the past two weeks in the US states of Louisiana, Minnesota and Texas.
In Texas, a lone sniper killed five policemen. The other incidents involved African Americans being killed during seemingly routine interactions with police.
The survey also indicated long-term optimism over US race relations has held steady over the past three years, despite a number of police killings that have given rise to the Black Lives Matter movement.
