>> BHMPhilippine American War? So you go back 120 years to justify your current position that the USA is still just as racist as 1902.<<

No. I"m not justifying anything at all to you, simply giving you some history. The MEN I was talking to are college graduates, very successful in their lives and understand that the quotes are just a background. They actually know about the civil rights era in the US. In case you don't know the American Civil Rights Era is taught in various different places around the world. I've met people from New Zealand, Australia, Europe, Asia, and yes, the Philippines, who all saw Bull Connor hosing down blacks in their classrooms. I don't have to tell them anything about that, I do have to tell them it's still there - Lapsody

Still where? This is what pisses me off the most, where exactly does this racism live? I will tell you where, in the hearts of men, of many men, of far too many men. But that is entirely different than labeling our beloved country itself as racist. The fact is the United States makes continuous improvements as it moves farther and farther away from a racist past. There are racist individuals, and some are in government but that still does not make us a racist country.

Rather than whine, why don't you get on a plane and go live in another country for a couple of years and get that chip off your shoulder. - Lapsody

That which you dismiss as whining is simply me expressing pride in our great country and with what we have accomplished so far. You should try it.
