That Americans who want to comment on anything other than America should mind their own business too.

Example:

The Italian Justice system (the Meredith Kercher murder fiasco) - where in America black kids get blown away and white/hispanic men walk around smiling and laughing about how they got away with it. Yet right here at DU white 'liberals' truly believe we are in a post racial society and others in the group believe that we black folks ought to shut up about racial privilege.

Ain't that some shit?

America has it's own problems - maybe we ought to stop worrying about Oligarchs, billionaires and plutocrats in Russia -

And start focusing on the New Jim Crow and how it starts as young as pre-school - i.e. black little girls getting suspended at alarming rates from effin' pre school.

Even more of - Ain't that some shit?
