To the contraire, we have more freedoms, liberties and rights than any other country.

I disagree, Americans are no more stupid or ignorant than anyone else, including the Brits. People just like to talk about our stupidity more.

Which seems to be suggesting that PoD was correct in his usage of the Swastika.

Homophobia? Maybe, but this "more hatred towards blacks" idea makes me laugh. If anyone is racist in America, it's the blacks.

I mean, I bet you can't guess the color of the last lynch mob in Texas. Xenophobia and racism is definitely a much larger issue in the UK than in America, what with large lynch mobs chasing entire communities from their homes. That doesn't happen here, our racists have a loud bark and no bite. But that's not really something the media likes to talk about, it's easier to hate on America. Just like the media would have you to believe the south is the most racist part of America. It's all bullcrap. With blacks, they have such a sense of entitlement, that in their mind if it does not favor them then it must be racist.

The real issue now is groups like the NAACP creating divides in the community and things like "affirmative action" causing crap like
this.
