USA is moving backwards. Racism, antisemitism and islamofobia is at top

A Michigan family removed from an American Airlines flight in Miami when staff claimed they had body odour are suing the airline.

Yehuda Yosef Adler, his wife Jennie and their young daughter were removed from the flight to Detroit last January.

They claim staff made comments about their Orthodox Jewish faith.

Muslims and blacks are also exposed to violence and discrimination in many regions. Of course, no racist admires that he was racist. there is always an excuse.

even here we see Americans in intense racist, anti-Islamist and antisemitic attitudes. America is going back very badly. this bad trend must be stopped. we can start it right now, even here.

If you think that the US is racist now, you should have seen us 100-150 years or so ago.  There was a time when we didn't even want the Irish.

Omg. What a racist country. Unbelievable. 

Arguably we've taken a few steps back in recent years but overall we're quite a bit more egalitarian than we were 100 years ago.

We've nearly passed the equal rights amendment.  Maybe.  We'll see about that one I guess.

We let girls vote.
Isn't that enough?

Hmm...

That is a good question actually.  I had to look that up.

As far as I can tell, discrimination based on sex is not prohibited under the constitution and this amendment would seek to change that.

The media tends to make the US look more racist than it is. As markjo pointed out, in the past the US was much more racist.

can this justify racist practices still in the 21st century that all races live in all countries?

 No one is trying to justify racism.

Racism is not limited to just a few countries or people.  The way I see it, everyone is racist in one way or another.  The trick is to not be a jerk about it.

No one is trying to justify racism.

So stop saying it's worse than this before. it is important to diagnose the problem correctly in order to improve the solution. bad example is not a solution method.

I am simply explaining things. I am not trying to justify anything.

You are not simply explaining things. If you are trying to simply explaining things then you should to give up do it, because this is an important issue can not be explained simply by simple people. Your telling you are not trying to justify anything does not make you magically not justify it.

There are two side, either you are with people whose caring the problem of racism, or you are with people those not caring racism, or simply trying to show it trivial. Chose your side as simple as you do it simply.

Hmm. Trying to justify current failings with 'well we are better than we were 150 years ago' is amusing. The sad fact is, under your current president, things are getting worse on all social fronts. The guy boasts about sexually assaulting women afterall

I have never seen a President work so hard to divide their own people and get them to actively hate one another.

I also think most Americans underestimate just how much respect and standing they have lost across the world. Whether you believe it is deserved or not is beside the point. Current sentiment is that America is a joke

The US has a long history of racism. It’s not proper to hide it. One example of the change is segregation is no longer around. It’s a step in the right direction.

You need to stop acting like shifter and putting words into people mouth.

I'm not aboriginal. Best to ask them if you want a specific answer

However MSM and social media while not always right in facts, can be used as a tool to judge current trends and sentiments. America under Trump is considered weak and a joke. As well as racist, misogynist and many other nagative connotative words.

Anecdotally from my own opinion, America is certainly sliding backwards in a large part thanks to Trump.

Do you know what the imprisoned  Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and other ethnic Turkic Muslims in China think of the US?

They are in prison in a foreign country. What would I know of them

All I can do is guess if you really want. China has always had a dim view on 'The West'. They still do. They have a superiority complex.

China's values on ethics and morality are disgusting. I'd say they are even more backward than you guys

Pot meet kettle.

Pot meet kettle.

You can't just throw expressions out at random hoping the context is correct

Your post is because you want a dig at the US.... But you are clearly ignorant or just hypocritical of your own country’s exact problems.

Well for starters, I didn't start this thread.

And you said it after what I think of China.

My country doesn't have gulags, political prisoners, doesn't harvest organs from said prisoners, doesn't suppress of freedom of speech, religion or people from congregating.

So what is this pot meeting kettle expression of yours? Did you think you had another 'gotcha!' moment? lol

If you have a personal problem with me, PM me or go nuts in angry ranting. Leave this thread to talking about how racist and sliding backward America is.

People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

It’s strange that I copied your post and now it’s a bad post because I posted it.

People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Sound advice at any time

Moving on

And that’s how easy it is to shut you right up.

And that’s how easy it is to shut you right up.

Well that's something we can agree on at least. If your house was made of glass would you be throwing rocks around?

Any American worth some some salt and sign this. Will it change anything? Probably not

But it could then give some legitimacy to speaking out on other countries who allow the same thing for doing the same thing

Because silence on an issue may as well be consent to it
