Other people have made very good points that I agree with on this page, so I'm going to just split hairs over a minor niggle.
You can't make predictions about our culture 100 years in advance. The Western World (and, to an extent, the entire world) changes so quickly these days. No-one could have predicted 9/11 ten years in advance. Nor the GFC or the rise of the Tea Party movement. Think about how our society has changed since the Internet became widespread; no-one could have anticipated that in the 80s.
Things might get worse or something unexpected might make everything better. But predicting what's going to happen in the next century is simply impossible.

Yeah, I know how fast things can change. I would have used a smaller time frame like Havoc did, but I figured things could be fluctuating like hell and back and wanted some kind of cushion in case someone called me out on not being able to predict something in the short term either. In the end, I know it's just a prediction. I know how much things can change in a short period of time, I'm just so used to hearing people speak about the state my country is in and hearing about how people want change.
Things like Ferguson happen and get progressively louder and more chaotic each time it happens. You will never get the full truth of the situation no matter where you stand in the matter, even if you experienced the whole thing first hand. You constantly hear people in your communities, schools, family talking about civil war or revolution, and with each incident the reactions become more and more violent. If history's anything to go by, unless something is done about this it's going to keep escalating.
I don't know what to expect, I just know that while things aren't as bad as they could be, they're not exactly good right now, and for a country that flaunts it's freedom of opportunity and acceptance of all people it's pretty disgusting that it's not following through and claiming it does.
