Worries about racism in US reach new high: Poll
 [Iran Press TV] More than a third of Americans now say they are worried "a great deal" about race relations in the US, which is higher than at any time since 2001, a new poll has found.The percentage of respondents who are worried a great deal rose seven points to 35 percent in the past year and has more than doubled in the past two years, according to a Gallup poll released Monday. Concern about race relations has risen during an 18-month period marked by a series of deaths of unarmed African Americans at the hands of coppers. These deaths sparked major, sometimes violent, protests and fueled the nationwide rise of the "Black Lives Matter" movement, which campaigns against violence toward black people.
