Thread Name: BS: George Zimmerman defense-' Evidence withheld'
Subject: RE: BS: Zimmerman defense-' Evidence withheld'
So, before we flagellate ourselves over the Zimmerman case, let's take an objective look at how we compare – racially – to the rest of the world.
Big surprise here – there is no comparison! And, to my doubting liberal friends and others, I ask you to – as I have done – go live (not just travel) outside our country for a while, in the East or the West. See how other nations around the world have dealt with racial issues.
In short, most of them 1) haven't and 2) don't. Some examples:
Japan, just for example, is probably the most racist "modern" society in the world, yet we never hear a word about it. Don't believe me? Go there and see, Jesse and Al. Most minority races in Europe still live mostly in racially and ethnically segregated ghettos; and there is very little assimilation/integration of the races. Jesse and Al: Go to Germany, just for example, and see. There is no such thing as "affirmative action" anywhere but here. Religious and gender oppression/persecution is the rule in most Middle Eastern countries following strict Muslim religious rules. So, I would urge Jesse and Al to go there and see – just for example – how the Christian minorities are doing, whatever their race or ethnicity.
