2. "RE: whites vs europeans" In response to In response to 1 Mon Jul-08-02 12:31 AM
"We" may have invented white supremacist thinking (and slavery and a lot of other evil things...), but at least most of us have abandoned it by now. Although you can see a noticeable movement to the right in European politics lately. But that has more to do with our attitude towards immigrants and their failure to integrate in our society; not necessarily people of color, although they'll probably suffer the consequences for it. Even right wing politicians are claiming that they have no problem at all with foreign people, as long as they adept well to our culture. The white - black relationship over here in the Netherlands is still far from optimal, but it seems to be far better than in the US.
And you are rigth: America seems to be the fucked up beyond recognition version of Europe.
That's all the incoherent blabber I can give you for now. Stay tuned for more, as fuel will undoubtedly will be added to the fire of this discussion. I hope so at least. Picking on the USA has become one of my favorite pastimes.
(and of course I responded to the wrong message as well... it was in reply of the initial post here ok?)
