Do other countries experience racism the way the United States does? I ask because there are protests going on in London, Berlin & New Zealand. There could be more but I haven't looked into it. Those places I referenced are protesting in support of America, they are appalled by all the killings of blacks by the police. It is shocking to them. The United States of America is racist, certainly not all Americans but a significant amount are racist.

I think it is definitely an issue in other countries. A bigger issue in America. I was shocked to see the protests in London, Berlin and New Zealand.
We have a long history of mistreatment of those that don't bear the european skin color. Look at the treatment of Native Americans, Japanese with the internment camps, and anyone with Spanish heritage.
I will have to do some research of the types of racism that exist in countires not America.

Australia has a history of abusing their NA as does Canada.
Humanity is racist, it's just usually covered up a little better than it has been lately. One thing you can say about Trump, he's released the kraken.

Racism is alive and well, and will be for quite some time yet. The same can be said for rednecks, bible thumpers and the LGBT community.
It all depends on which newsfeed that you want to plug your mind into.

Now they are protesting in Amsterdam, just like London, Berlin and NZ.
Those people care more than many Americans do.

How do you know what many Americans care about?

I read what you and many others have to say.
I once read you say that Hitler was on to something. I sometimes recall that when reading your opinions.

You asked me how did I know what many Americans care about and my response is that I read what people are thinking everyday.

So then you read where I said that I was mad, sad and disgusted by what those cops did to George Floyd? I don't think any person should be treated differently under the law because of their skin color. But your idea of how to make it better and mine are totally different. Yours is obviously not working.

I don't have an idea on how to make it better. I don't know what the answer to it is.

I don't have an idea on how to make it better. I don't know what the answer to it is. I do, although it will never entirely make it better because you can't change the human race. One thing that would help is if instead of entirely focusing on the color of the person, we would be more focused on their rights that were violated and how we need reform and change. That should be the first thing. But that never happens. Instead everyone screams racism and it becomes nothing more than a racism circus which divides people and perpetuates it even more and the media makes sure of that.
