Why is Americanism so inherently Racist?

Question

Most of the answers here pertaining to Iraq, France, N.Korea, Iran, Mexico, and non-European Americans are peppered with comments that can only be construed as Racist.

Of course the Racist protest loudly that they are not.... just factual.

The truth hurts uhh??

America my dear friends is a nation created on Racist ideology, maintained on Racist ideology, and has a population of closet racists.... just barely under the surface.

jebul.... I added my details before I read your answer... Thank you for the honesty..... It is something seriously lacking amongst most European Americans.

TJTB... Thank you for your intervention. 'Americanism' was specifically chosen because it draws them from under the rock. Americanism is a conglomerate of the ideology, from capitalism to slavery, that makes America what it is, NOT Americans as a people. The less educated can not see this distinction.

Answer 1

LOL I enjoy your questions...notice the REACTION to this question...I can't add much more but I have to agree with jebul, the US was founded on racism and it's so inherent in our history and lives that people don't even realize how racist it really is here.

The real problem isn't racism, it's always been about class. If those who are arrogant and superior could realize the damage that has been caused, maybe then real freedom could be achieved. I do give you credit for trying on here though! : D

Answer 2

People all over the world are afraid of difference. The French are against any immigration that would water down the French ancestry. The Sunni's are afraid of the Shiites and the Kurds etc. The German Americans hated the Irish. All the whites were afraid of the blacks. SO racism is not a product of the US. It is everywhere. And it hides in ignorance. But it is not just here in the US. But certainly the administration plays it to the hilt.

Answer 3

It's probably b/c most of these countries hate us. Iraq, Iran & N. Korea are trying to blow the world us playing with nukes. What good is there to say about that? France thought we were wrong for going to war. Like we're just supposed to sit there and take it. Most other non-European countries hate us b/c our women are free to go to school and to work and choose their own husband and we have opinions of our own. Most of those countries are based on hate, ignorance & a cult they call religion with a fictitious god. If we were racist would we let them in our country, let them work tax free for 7 yrs, pay their health care, their children's education and let them go to college for free so they can take all the jobs up of the next generations' futures to come. Get Real.
No, I'm not racist. I have several close friends that are black and hispanic. We are sick of being taken advantage of by these countries that you mentioned. Do you think that anyone from these countries like us except for maybe Mexico?

Answer 4

All of us aren't there are racist people all over the world and its easy to hate someone for whatever reason as a matter of fact a person doesn't have to have a reason to hate. I would say judge a person by their actions and not their words before a judgement is made and don't look at a person as whatever just look at them as human the other stuff is just stuff look at them on the inside and that only takes a lifetime for people to realize and then sometimes they dont; get it right

Answer 5

The real Racist is You and other people who use the term Racist to excuse their faults, inability, or laziness to become True Americans. Unlike You, there are Americans of All Races, Religions and levels of education who respects All People who work hard to become better than their parents.
That is the goal of Legal Immigrants. They Want to become Americans, and they first Learn English, which is the Language of the USA. The Parents work hard, and insure that their children get the best education that they can afford. They do this, without stealing money from other hard working taypayers, because they Love their Families and their new Country. They are Joiners who wish to be Americans, and not Whiners who can only destroy, divide and insult others because of their Bigotry.

Answer 6

wow...the mere fact that you equate anything that's said on this website as an accurate portrayal of what America really is says a lot.

This website and it's posters get to hide and make their ridiculous comments from behind the cloak of internet anonymity and clever little names and avatars. I could call you any number of names and it wouldn't make a world of difference, would it.

Stop taking everything you read on the internet as fact or accurate. You'll be saving you and your piece of mind a lot of trouble in the future.

Answer 7

Well lets see:
- Iraq is where we have been at war for the last 5-6 years so there's going to be some animosity there.
- France has been anti-American pretty much since the USA was founded.
- North Korea has been anti-American since the Korean war split the country into North and South.
- Iran is harboring terrorists and their President is encouraging anti-American sentiments throughout the Middle East and the rest of the world.
- Mexico has been violating our southern border with illegal immigrants for decades now.

Answer 9

Simple

20,000 years ago French cavemen walked across the ice to North America. And Mongolians walked to Alaska.

Somewhere around 18,000 years ago the meet in the middle.

That is a start.

Next toss in Free vs Slave for the first 200 colonial years. Or the Spanish version of Free vs Jewish. Both black and white scenarios were played out. Indentured Irish and English owned by free Dutch.

Black & white slaves were owned by free blacks and whites. Free blacks stripped of title and lands by angry Virginians.

Escapees from Southern prison Colonys meeting out vengence on any and everyone. Indians selling their enemies land to settlers.

Soverign Governments sending dissemblers to ruin what little chance we had to make it.

You name it our national roots has every imagionable combination of greed and abuse.

Answer 10

Do you have an example?

It is my experience that people cry "racism" over every little thing. Sometimes it seems as though, if you say anything less than, "Gosh, I love those people from Saudi Arabia who blew up buildings in my country six years ago," then someone accuses you of being a racist.

So really, I'd like an example of what you're talking about. Because I'm tired, as a white person, of being accused of being racist because of the color of my skin.
