In the week leading up to the presidential election in the United States, the British media have been ramping up their disapproval of Sarah Palin, their adoration of Barack Obama, and their collective contempt for the American electorate. In the Guardian of October 28, George Monbiot trashes everything he can conjure up and concludes America is a vast wasteland of uneducated nincompoops. (Watch out, George: your long diatribe, which has already attracted the ire even of lefty bloggers, may backfire and cause millions of swing voters to go for McCain, as Ohioans did in 2004 when the Guardian mocked the stupid folks of that crucial state.)
My complaint, however, is a specific one: I am sick and tired of Britons and Europeans pontificating about “American racism.” It defies belief that nations who plundered vast continents and colonialized the Hottentot are now telling Americans they should shed their shameful past...

Hey Buddy, does Boston Tea Party mean anything to you? We don’t CARE what you think.
This guy forgets one thing. It’s our country and we’ll do what we dam well please with it. If it somehow gets a little sideways, we’ll fix it.....not him.
Pretty much every mess in the world in the last 300 years has been of European making. They have no moral authority to address us on any issue. Let them eat cake, re-read A Modest Proposal, and then visit the nearest Holocaust museum.
These teabags can kiss my proud American *ss!
Mind your own business!
Me too, since last I checked there are no black prime ministers in England or any black leaders of any European countries anywhere. Correct me if I'm wrong.
George Moonbat?
How many American newspapers trash other countries?
The UK needs to worry about cleaning up their own house. They have hoodlums, chavs, and murderous honor killing Muslims they should be dealing with instead of worrying about our education.
George Monbiot... George Moonbat? Hmmm...
Darn it... you beat me to it.
lol
I lived in the UK for quite a few years. I don’t know how ANYONE living there can say that about the US. I witnessed more racism and xenophobia there than I witnessed in my entire life living in the US - AND I’m from Alabama. So suck it, Guardian - ‘the reddest rag in the UK’.
I swear....I think they still harbor ill feelings and jealousy
going back to the Revolutionary War and ‘George the Turd’.
I used to use this line (which is a common phrase in the UK) whenever someone was critical of us.......”Well, we think a lot of you!”
Euros will always trash us. I mean it isn’t like we saved them from the Nazis and rebuilt their economies after WW II.
Nazism was very popular in Europe ~ still is.
Wheres UK first black prime minister?! In fact, where is it in all of Europe?
Ain’t THAT da troof!
After Bill Cosby's son was killed, his wife said that the killer (an immigrant from the former Soviet Union) learned racism in the US. I saw a letter to the editor from someone who had lived in Russia and said that there was plenty of anti-black racism there.
