(1,301 posts)the whole idea of world wide conspiracies against "you" by people with a different race creed or religion than "you" is racism.
jingoism and extreme nationalism are forms of racism, the idea that the US is better than other nations or above other nations is textbook racism, i dont understand how i have to explain that to you, you are a intelligent being.
it is simple, and i dont mean you you, because it is obvious to anyone that you are a thinking person.
i could post links to 3-4 people who are very active in protecting the president from accusations of wrongdoing in the NSA scandal who are also apologists for the "double-tapping" drone strikes, including laughing at the idea that it breaks international law and comparing "body counts" between bush and obama to deflect attention from the illegality. i purposely did not post links because i do not want to break any rules and calling out other specific people across threads would seem wrong to me when i am trying to make a general point.
i am extremely disappointed that you would resort to whataboutery, yes there is racism in england, yes there is racism in london, if you wish to discuss racism around the world why not open a topic about that and i would be glad to discuss this with you.
i am against racism of all kinds, not limited to racism and hate of the chinese, muslims, people from anywhere by people from any nation.
