@Lizard_of_Ahaz get over yourself, I grew up in the most multi-cultural city in the world and have lived in many countries where I myself was the subject of racism. The Amerikaan concept of racism is so black and white that it is stupid, much like most Amerikaans, fortunately not the ones I call friends, good people, decent and open minded and also well traveled.

@SnowyOwl Get over yourself Bill Cosby is guilty of the crimes and should have stayed in prison... The only reason he is out is because a corrupt court let him out after his lawyer claimed he was given a deal by a previous prosecutor that can't be proven because it wasn't recorded anywhere in writing or otherwise.
As for skin color it is ridiculous to claim that that makes someone of a different "race" because everyone is of the same race regardless of variations in skin pigmentation or minor variations in features. Pseudo-scientific bullshit invented by religitards...

@Lizard_of_Ahaz how many countries other than Murika have you lived in other than as a invading militiaman?

@FrayedBear Certain parts of the US can be considered different countries... Other than that I think it is safe to conclude that the problems here are not unique to us you find them in Australia, the UK, Canada and all over the world.... Pretty much wherever religion holds too much authority you will find it pointing fingers telling people to hate others "because they are different..."

@Lizard_of_Ahaz Religion is one purveyor of xenophobia.
Yes it happens worldwide. The primary causes are fear of the unknown & jealousy. Try rereading #MagicPudding but hold in mind that the shaman is the local brothel owner!
