why? I think because USamericans are fearful people. they are fearful,
because they never learned to talk about their problematic history.
genocide and slavery. they just inherit the guilty consciousness
unprocessed from generation to generation. therefor they only feel safe,
when they are protected by a big brother. they live with the idea of the
survival of the fittest (make the rich richer). they never gave black
people compensation for their exploitation (nor any other group). as a
matter of fact this is not only US history, but western history in
general, but european countries experienced worldwar II and I think they
changed their way on communal thinking about racism and so on.
