They say that this country is racist,yet look at France for example it took those riots to get their first black anchorman on television...England,how many people of color sit in the house of lords.
I think europeans are full of it,when in fact it is them that are trying to find every illegal way to come to this country,I don't know too many people of color that want to live over there.
And they cannot live without our culture.How many of us care to learn tarantela,vienesse waltz,or even listen to that horrible swedish rap?
Don't get me wrong it is a beautiful place but people fo color beware,they will treat you as if you have to be a rapper or a celebrity in order to like you!
Americans beware of displaying your blue passport,when you do, they will drag their feet to give you service.

haha :D what?
Well...some people hate, some not. Some americans HATE EUROPE and some don't. Easy?
and I am from Europe and I know lots of people hwo love America, but those hwo hate...do you know why? I tell you. You see in america you have this culture "america is the best, we are the best" and so on.....so how other countries should feel? In erupe (at least norhten europe) we have a cultrue that judge countries hwo have this big big ego becouse we think it selfish end rude to praise youreself! And some hate americas becouse every single day eurpe goes more and more like america. some politicians say that we should be "united states on europe" and they say face the facts : some day you will be like america. So in people the anger is growing...my culture is dying? America is leading the europe? we don't want hamburgers and so on... so that's the point...europe don't want to be second america. But you as an american do you want that europe leads your country and so on? No!! so there's the problem.

I do not believe that this is a "color-thing" question. I have lived in Europe, Asia and the U.S. What I can tell you is that if you act like a kind and considerate person, people will do the same to you. Also, I would have to say that the 3 most important words in any language are "please" and "thank you." I make it a point to memorize these three words in the national language of every country that I visit. Lastly, I know that if I cannot put myself in someone else's shoes, then at the very least, I can maintain a humble and grateful attitude, which gets me anywhere I care to go. The world's people understand me.

Well sorry to hear you had a bad experience in Europe. No not that it has anything to do with your statement, there are 12 black peers in the House of Lords. Now did you by any chance when in the UK click your fingers when you wanted service? refer to people has "Hey" this is considered bad manners. Do you complain and compare everything to back home in the states? You also mention we all want to live in USA? I wouldn't live in the USA if you give me all the money Bill gate has. So your making generalizing statement about Europe

Ever been waiting politely in line, when some jerk comes up and forces their way in to the front? Like when a lane narrows for construction... you get ofer when safe and wait, while some pinhead goes screaming past the line to force their way in at the last second, making the rest of the line stop for them...
That is American foreign policy, in a nutshell. That's why they hate us.

I have been to France 4 times the second time I heard 2 men talking in french about how they hate American's, I walked right up to them and told them in french "hello, I can understand everything you are saying, please stop saying it though because you don't know me, and it's not very nice to judge people, thank you for you time." and they just looked at me in shock and in my head I was just saying ha ha ha, and who snap's their finger's for service? well in movie's they do the to just make it look cool, we don't say "hey" to someone we don't know to get their attention we consider that rude too, I never really compare other countries to here, it's just different but also very similar.

They're just jealous because America has either; a) saved their hides, b) mopped the floor with them, or c) replaced them as the world's dominant power.
