    Why is there so much separation in the USA between people who identify as "black" or "white" compared to other regions like South America?

  • Yo, I have no idea. I'm starting to believe that a lot of these anti-American accounts are Russian trolls. They're so unnecessarily antagonizing and hypocritical. Of all political entities in the world to criticize someone else... Europe? EUROPE? Let's take a look at the hypocrisy.

    The US is racist!

    • Hmmm, I wonder who even came up with the idea of races?

    The US had slavery!

    • Umm, who started that slavery?
    • Who captured and enslaved the Africans?
    • Who brought them over and sold them across all of the Americas?

    The US supports the genocide of Palestine!

    • Ok, who gave that land to Zionists and why? What was the reason, hmm? And why Palestinian land??

    The US spends too much on military and not enough on social welfare!

    • Yeah, who's going to save those fantastic EU welfare programs from Putin?
    • Btw, where are European countries buying their fancy high-tech military equipment from?
    • Who built those F-16s that European countries donated to Ukraine?
    • Why doesn't the EU build its own military-industrial complex then?

    The US invaded Iraq!

    • Who drew up the lines of the Middle East to ensure permanent conflict?
    • Did someone forget Polend?

    The US is belligerent!

    • Odd, because I don't think they started WWI nor WWII. Who was it?

    The US dropped atomic bombs!

    • Crazy, but what was Europe doing instead of sending troops to invade Japan?

    The US has terrible healthcare!

    • Interesting. Who is the leading researcher in medical interventions?
    • Who subsidizes the world's medications research and development so the rest of the world can brag about buying that shit wholesale and using generics a few years behind?

    The US thinks too highly of itself!

    • Of all the continents, which continent isn't even a continent?

    The US is too religious!

    • Remind me again, what were the Crusades?
    • And, why did so many Europeans even move to the US to begin with?
    • Can someone point on a map to where the head of Catholic Church is, please?

    As far as I can tell, Europe starts shit and the US is left cleaning up the mess. Then, Europe talks shit about the US for trying to fix the problems it creates while they sit over there basking in the resources they extracted. WTF is that?

    Extra: Texas is stupid for wanting to leave the union!

    • If Texas leaves (it won't), should we follow the established naming convention and call it Texit?

    Edit: WHY THE FUCK DOES THE US EVEN EXIST??

  • Please reread my comment slowly, word for word. See if you maybe missed something the first time.

  • Is cops being evil/lazy/incompetent a USA specific thing, or is it the same everywhere in the world?

  • Go to Central America and see what you think about American cops then.

  • Other than that? I can’t think of anything, but maybe I’m ignorant.

    According to this guy, some parts of African language were preserved and adapted in certain groups.

  • They have not admitted that it was wrong what they were doing

    This is a straight up lie.

    • There was a civil war about it. It was the most costly war for the country in terms of lives.
    • There was an amendment to the US Constitution about it.
    • The President at the time that slavery was ended is considered to be in the top 3 of the country's history.
    • There's a federal holiday to memorialize a civil rights leader. There are parades across the country on this day.
    • There are museums and exhibits all over the country on this topic.
    • There are tons of documentaries and shows on it.

    This is such a blatant lie, that I don't even know what to say.

  • Brazil took over 10 times more enslaved Africans than North America. That comment is way off.

  • What are some of the things someone permanently relocating away from the US should be aware of?

  • Well, as a European (i.e. good person), let me welcome you to the developed world. We're not snobby or greedy pigs like the Americans that invented Nazis. In fact, no country in Europe has ever looked down upon another country, continent, or people. We've also never colonized any countries nor do we conduct joint military exercises and operations with the US, and we definitely do not benefit from the US's foreign policy and interventions. All of our luxuries are home grown and have never been the result of our brutal exploitation of other countries that resulted in horrific dictatorships, genocides, and ongoing conflict. If I remember correctly from my free history class, we have never even been to war at all. Btw, we have real history over here. Yours only goes back 200 years and has nothing at all to do with ours. What do you guys even talk about in history classes? lol!

    There is absolutely no crime here in Europe, only healthcare. The other day on our superior mass-transit system, my friend was held at stethoscope-point by a criminal that alerted him that he had a heart murmur. I actually get a free diagnosis every morning. I have like 78 km of diagnoses written on superior A4 paper. We're also very cultured as we speak several languages, all European but still very cultured. There's absolutely no racism or oppression. All of my roommates have been Roma, Arabic, or African. My neighborhood has scheduled to protest for more minarets all week since the government makes sure we have enough vacation days to insist on diversity.

    Our food is so organic that it's composed of only carbon. That's it. When you go to a restaurant, the waiters pick their most European customers every metric hour and gives them money. That's right; our waiters tip us. We recycle everything and have never contributed in any fashion to climate change, and we have never supported Putin for decades by purchasing Russian gas. We're in no way upset that we contributed less to NATO than we agreed to, depended on the US to save our asses while we enriched Putin, and now are wondering wtf we're going to do since we don't have shit for a military nor our own fuel supply.

    It's about time you leave the US, who is 100% at fault for everything in the world and absolutely not an ally that serves as a scapegoat to compare ourselves against in order to distract from our bullshit.

    Edit: I forgot to mention that our chocolate is superior, and there is absolutely no child labor involved anywhere in the production line.

  • Finding a flight that doesn't serve peanuts might improve the probability of avoiding an allergic reaction, but a passenger could easily board the flight with their own peanuts. According to OP, the epi pens only give them 20 mins to get to a hospital, which is not within reach when flying over the Pacific Ocean. It might not even be within reach when flying over land considering landing procedures for an airliner.

  • Could your body adjust if you separated your macros into meals? Like all carbs for breakfast, all fat for lunch and all protein for dinner? What would happen?

  • There's fat in bread. An only-carbs meal is basically eating straight sugar (glucose).

  • According to the label on the bottle, 50 x 1,400 mg soft gels of Kirkland Signature Wild Alaskan Fish Oil will hit 100% of recommended daily fat in take based on a 2,000 calorie diet, though you might eventually overdose on vitamin A (as retinol).

  • I can't stand being around fishermen that place their live catches on the bare open floor and watch the fish drown in terror after having their entire weight carried by a piercing and dragged into a new world in which they're immobile while likely burning and drying out at the same time. It makes me check out.

    They're disbanding over half of the federal government. We're seeing it happen.

  • That's how you lose with characters like Trump. They're looking to trigger you into a shit show, and then beat you with experience. You have to stay calm and let them make an ass of themselves. They will eventually get too rash and make a royal fuck up.

  • Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leader

    Jump

  • Yes it is because keeping Ukraine out of Putin's hands is essential to Western prosperity. Do you understand Ukraine's role in global wheat production? Do you understand the value of naval ports in the Black Sea? Do you understand the danger of having a Russian border even further in Europe and NATO? Plus, do you think you're going to see any of the savings? The maybe 1.5% of the federal budget that went to Ukraine...so if you miraculously got those $20 of your federal income tax back, they are gonna turn your life around?
