I just saw on the news that Jesse Jackson accused Barack Obama of trying to "act white".
My question here is, compared to all other developed countries, are we behind in the United States when it comes to acceptance of different ethnicities?
I've been to Europe, and it just kills me to know how they are compared to us, the supposed "Greatest Nation" in the world. In England, people of all races born and raised there, sound ENGLISH! Nobody accuses non-white people in England of trying to "act White", or "act English". Ireland, same thing. France, Spain, Italy, etc...same shit.
This raises another question. With the way things are, still fucked in 2007...do you think there is any HOPE in the United States of a better tomorrow for the generations to come? As a nation, do you think we will ever get over these "black/white" differences and just accept each other as Americans?
Some food for thought. All opinions will be accepted and open for discussion. Let me know what you think.
