As far as the slavery shit goes...there are no shackles on you pal, so you can go right ahead and shut the **** up about slavery.
I saw one of those chain things go around My Space a few months ago and it was one I had to repost myself because I agreed with it so damned much. I can't recall everything it said but a few things are relevant to the racism discussion startinghere. So I'm going to start a new thread for it.

true enough, but still that was a way of life in africa it was tradition we had no other way of life. while on the other hand y'all just had us cause it was profitable. I think DCM is right.

I rarely see a white guy call a black guy anything racist, unless it's two friends done in good fun, yet I see black people tossing out racist slurs left and right. I've never seen a white guy challenege a black employer saying he was unfair because he was racist, yet I've seen far too many black people yell and scream when they get fired claiming the one doing the firing is racist.
You know what, it's not even racism, it's just people being people. To actually track stuff to the root of the problem is too much of a rigourous and timely process to correct. And not to mention psychology.

But being reminded of the bad stuf is the same reasoning behind remembering the Holocaust. And White History Month, my ass, blood

^^^---- Exactly, it is still better than any of the third world countries so don't complain about it. I forget who said it, I believe it was Spoon, but I agree with him, I definetly hear racial slurs against white people more than I hear them against blacks or hispanics.

ahh i see... ok i dont but oh well.
i have many friends from other countries and races, mexician, venezulan, colombian, africian, british, and we all joke. but it is true, there are not nearly as many racist white ppl around here than there are black. you could take the number of white ppl that are racist and times it by 10, and it would still fall far short of the number of blacks.
i'll get some links tommarow and edit this post, right now i'm goin to bed

Back to what you were saying before bloodangel, many countries in the Middle East dislike the US for reasons including the crusades. The US was built upon Judeo-Christian culture and concepts. We even carved a piece of their land for the Jews. However, what aggravates the problem even further is that the US helped the Taliban come into power. Ironically, many Taliban supporters resent the fact that they needed help from us. Weird isn't it.

People dont like others for many reasons. Some may be religous and/or economic, or maybe the fact we try to run the entire world. But it could just be the image of an american. now people think of us as fat stupid white trash people. and hey they arnt that far off. a lot of america is overweight. and of course there are many stupid racist in america, not just in the south. but hey, not everyone can get along. if everyone was friendly and nice to everyone the world could be a dull boring place. so why think "why do they hate us". we should probably think "what could we do to make them like us"

nothing...we help people, they tell us to mind our own business, we stay out of their business, they call us selfish for not helping

Exactly, screw that noise. Instead of worrying whether or not people like us let's just focus on doing the right things...

ok i don't speak on this forum very often..
but everyone who just tuned into the news since 9/11 (or whatever the hell you want to call it... it's just a damn date. "the WTC bombing #2")... just because your watching the news now,doesn't mean spit
because the hatred of america has gone on a lot longer than this war.
so back to topic...
England - i have no idea why they hate us, but there is a wall there. and if you don't believe me. go to england. you'll see there is a comfort level there that will be tested.
england has rednecks too, they just live in cities cause it's a island nation, the area isn't big enough to have a "country" mentality, seperated from the city mentality...well not really but you know what i mean.. there's roughneck hillbillies there too.
i've seen people earlier in this topic. say how evil the A-bombs were. yes they were (duh, give those people a medal for stating the obvious). but even though it was an evil thing to do. we were at war and we had a brand new toy. and ANY! country that had a weapon on that level for the first time in the world, would use it... without a doubt, just to see what it would do and if you think otherwise, your just being naive. it's a good thing we saw just how destructive the weapon was under "allied" forces, that's why the U.N. keeps these weapons under strict wraps... not just anyone can wield the kind of power of a nuclear weapon.
which brings me to...
Japan - this is probably the most U.S. friendly country in the world (non-government wise) the yound people there especially in tokyo & osaka. (of course, i had a bad experience in england. so that probably influenced my decsion on japan). but the young people there love americans. middle-aged too. the only people who i've ever heard of being anti-american were the elderly who could remember the bombings & ww2 (for obvious reasons). relationships between these two cultures flurished, probably because we influenced them so heavily after & during the occupation (hey it's part of war nowadays.. you take them over, you occupy, you relieve future stress...hopefully). but from my experience japan doesn't hate us. of course i haven't been there since the 2nd WTC bombing.
that's all i can really speak on from experience... mostly because it's 5:00 A.M.
but i've also been to new zealand and had a good time there.
most other countries in the entire world, with the exception of european nations.. you can pretty much use common sense. to see why they hate us. i still don't know why europe hates us.
must be the cool thing to do. plus you gotta remember they're also more open to speak out about their government...something that CNN only shows when they have an agenda. we as americans have very little influence over our government.. look at how many people you've talked to since the war (Iraq). how many don't want to be involved in that area of constant war (the middle east) almost 0%... approval ratings accourding to CNN? around 45% last i saw. they prolly asked about 100 people around the office.
and yes muslims in the middle east have had a dislike for christians since the roman days... a little bit sooner than the crusades, wouldn't you say? god bless world history. when it's wrong. it's the nature of religion. it divides people worldwide, like sports teams do nation-wide. except a little more extreme (BOOM!).
america is hated because of abundance, past actions (which affected every other nation at some point), government (the main current reason), and it's hip.

Maybe we should just fix our country before we go around helping others?
