Racism In The First World Countries: The Most Brutal of the Brutal
And Now, a Moment of
Literature:
America and Germany
were not always equal opportunity and the lands of freedom and liberty we know
them (mostly America) as today. Both have historic guilt to contend with.
With Europe, it was the
Nazi Party, which has been "erased and obliterated" From European
History Texts.
With America, it was
Slavery and the KKK, and later, it's deformed cousin, segregation.
These are all rather
ugly reminders of a past that was once very real, and a very real historic
threat to progress. But the truth is,
for the most part, America never truly shouldered the burden of Europe's
problems, and Europe never really shouldered the burden of America's problems.
Each continents own brand of indignity and historical contradiction does not
belong to the other one. It is not a shared hatred or racism. The flames of
racism burn brightest in their native homelands, and to be truly extinguished,
they need to be extinguished in their native homelands. Sure everywhere else
isn't perfect, but there's few things as obviously out of sync with humanity
than racism and bigotry.
