You probably know, but I have to remind you that even AFTER the racism of the second world war, negroes in the US still had to sit on the back of the busses, in different sections of the cafes and public places, and all live in the same areas.
The racism in America is very widespread, especially in the south, but its also changing, before it was the blacks who had all the focus, now its the blacks but especially the Muslims and arabs. All countries have the "far right", yeah? This is especially noticeable in Italy for example, and very extreme, but not so noticeable in Germany for example. Racism in Europe is mostly focused in the Benelux countries these days, and Italy indeed. I am sure that in both Europe and America there is well hidden racism too, but this is not noticable But all in all, its about equal, just a bit differently divided.

I know what sovereignty is. I know what armed aggression is. And I know what happens when you militarize a country. You get Nazi's. That's why I said, "When do we invade Poland!"

If you can't see how wrong it is to do what we did to Iraq...

I am so sick of entertaining your dismissals about your region and your false innuendos of America. Once again, you have chosen to reflect on America's old south to excuse today's Europe (which refelct our old south). We have gone through this already and I have produced for you plenty of European studies and reports that declare exactly what I have stated. The Muslim ghettos across Europe are full of neglected immigrants. The racism towards Muslim Turks in Germany is becoming such a problem that German government officials don't know what to do about it. The Muslim residents in France are rioting again over economical and societal unfairness.

We do not have this problem in America. An although racism will always persist in the individual, we solved these unfair treatments of minorities with the Civil Rights marches that resulted in forced integration and future laws such as "Affirmative Action" at the institutional level. This is what Europe has not done and this is why France hosts immigrant riots today and Germany continues to suffer from racial tension. The progroms to invite the minority into your system just isn't good enough for the populations involved.

And these two countries lead the EU.

And you do realize that by using the EU as a basis you are merely covering up the failings of France and Germany by adding it to the successes going on around them? America will always be America. We are one country. We fail and succeed as one. We do not and will not add our success or failure to another entity to produce a false picture.
