Seems like a pretty blind statement to make.

Meh...the whole "America is the best place on earth to live" statement is kind of hot air nowadays. Especially if we're going to compare lifestyles to other first world countries.

I really don't get why people get off on exaggarating this point.

I don’t think this has anything to do with how smart or dumb someone is. He’s just a real passionate guy, maybe to the point where he speaks in hyperbole.

Even if USA is the best country to live that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of room for improvement. Just bc other countries may be worse is a piss poor excuse to be making.

Do you want to be as good as you can be?

Or do you just want to be better than others?

That’s the issue with that other countries nonsense.

Ding ding ding.

But if America is going to improve, it's not just one side doing it either.

92.7% of Africanized Americans are racist.

No. They just hate those that hate them. You hate yourself so you find a reason to hate pthers. You create what your issues. Always have always will.

Don't like blacks? Should've stayed away from Africa.

Don't like blacks in America? Should've did the work yourself.

Don't like immigrants in the U.S.? Should've kept your arse in Europe.

Don't like being exposed as a POS degenerate racist? Stop being one.

Your heart may be in the right place- I'm skeptical but no way I could know for sure.

You definitely need to work on your way of presenting your points because you come across as very weak minded. It's not just your writing ability or lack thereof but your inability to answer questions posed at you which are based upon your own comments.

I'd like for Pop to go sit in an Ultra section of a soccer team in east Europe and see just how racist America is. Let me know the last time fans in America chanted monkey sounds and threw bananas as a unified group during any sporting event.


...or take a visit to his ancestral homeland of the former Yugoslavia then come back and speak of hate and ethnic & religious division.

I agree with Pop.


We live in a racist as hell country. Most people dont like people that are diff from them.

Why do they have all asian communities? It's not because white people hate them, it's because they hate everyone else.

probably Norway or Switzerland or some place like that


Actually this isnt true either. They tend to want people to assimilate more than we do here. I even seen stuff on the swiss that you are assumed to be a foreigner if you have darker skin color. Which is racist.




And as the picture shows, thats white sheep kicking black sheep out of switzerland

Norway is over 90% white and the whole countries population is smaller than the Houston metro area. I fail to see how that is a good comparison.

Im just just pointing out that because they are majority white they assume anyone that isnt white is from somewhere else. Hence, prejudging someone based on their skin color.

In todays, blame whitey in America, that stance would be deemed racist. Not arguing if its right or anything.
