Typical reaction, sorry to say, and I do mean that, not saying that as a hollow phrase.
What I'm used to is acknowledging your wrong doings. And in the US this isn't in the past as it's still very much alive. It's a major problem in the US even though slavery doesn't exist anymore.
I don't need to be lectured on history or what happened in the world. I know full well.
And it's also odd you seem to think that you are separate, Americans, different country & people, and take things as an attack on Americans, which is a common reaction from many Americans.
But do you understand that when this all began in the Americas you were Europeans? Which makes it part of our history as well.
White Americans didn't exist at all. Europeans invaded the Americas. Another thing Americans seem to forget.
Acknowledgement and giving validation to the suffering of both the Indians and black Americans might help ease pain.
Hell, even our KING had to apologize for things done in the past, way before he was even born!

Where's the sympathy and compassion for these people? I don't see that, all you do is have a knee-jerk reaction because you feel attacked, and then you lash out at me.
Maybe try to see the bigger picture. If more would and could the solution to the B & W problem in the US might be closer.
And disagree with you as this situation IS unique. There is no other country in the world where there is such an enormous deep problem between 2 races where neither of these originate in that country. And where the 3rd party, the original inhabitants, are usually not even mentioned: the Indians, that in all honesty are the only ones who could voice a claim.
And that situation can't be changed anymore. But I think genuine compassion, understanding, and sympathy for what happened would be good.
Beats saying "Then get on a boat back to where you came from!"
If you don't see the stupidity of saying that to people whose roots in America go as far back as his own...

As for looking at my country's history... we actually founded part of America! Wallstreet etc. The entire first big part was ours. So I AM looking at my country's history. Guess you didn't realise that.

It's really annoying you think no one can say anything about America while -as I said- your history is tied to ours as your roots are European. Plus, when the chit hits the fan in the US, like with that creep police officer and Floyd, entire Western Europe goes mental, riots, protests, and destruction everywhere.
You may think you're a stand-alone entity and no one is allowed to say anything, but unfortunately that's not very realistic.
"Remi, alone in the world" doesn't exist anymore since we have phones, internet etc.
Would have saved us an awful lot of trouble and cost if those idiot police men hadn't killed Floyd.
So yeah, as far as I'm concerned we do have a say since it also affects life over here.

Leaving this at that. I tried to shed some insight and light on a very racist hateful post.
If people cannot understand that and instead have knee-jerk reactions... not going to spend my energy on that.

I wish I had said this. (Crystal )

Yep , sounds like you read the same history of the U.S.book that every kid in America read in the 1970s. Wow , very impressive. But since you don’t actually live in the country you keep denouncing as a bunch of white racists Ill blame what you say on ignorance. There are racist individuals all over the world both black and white. To think it only exists in the U S is very naive. Try googling what America does for blacks and other minorities. I think you will change your tune if you haven’t gone completely woke. What does your country do for the black man or other minorities ?

oh come on , give me a break. tune on the news in NYC. Baltimore, Philly, S F , ect ect and tell me who you see attacking the Jewish and Asian old people. . its black people.
you have 13% of the population in the urban areas committing 70% of the violent crimes.
check that with the F.B I
take your head out of the fr#$&ing sand and call it the way it is.

hey folks.. the first slaves were not African... they were....Irish
but you don't see the Irish bellyaching.. nope. we melted in...we didn't demand our own vocabulary, our own Christmas....National Anthen. or money from the U.S. people...you know.. we just worked hard and RAISED the children we fathered ..
Ahhh... easy to be a father...harder to be a Dad

I guess you are blind? Or you don't read properly?
I am white and always worked hard.

Now that we have heard from the bimbo class on how racist we are here in America may I say , you don’t surprise me with your clueless rants. If we are so racist why are people dying to come here. If you are basing your opinion on what you here instead of actually living among the people you have so much disdain for and seeing how giving most Americans are than you are only fooling yourself. To just spout off so you can here your own blather and have a few like you praise your comments is very childish. And the majority of Americans find your attitude about Americans ignorant.

Agreed! You can also point out that it's NYC, which is swirling the drain as far as being a decent city

Such lunacy coming from clueless foreigners, It would be easy for me to attack the inhabitants of your country for being weak and dependent on others , mainly the United States for your protection against invasion. But I won’t cause I don’t live there , so I can’t fully understand why your country like many others can’t defend yourselves without the help from the United States…. Sounds a little far fetched , like your statements. Wouldn’t you agree?
