Being that the USA is a melting pot, we have been taught to respect the belief's and values of other cultures.
You are kidding, right? The USA has only respect for its own culture (if one can call it that). Britain, France and most other European countries prohibited slavery, racism et al. at least 150 years ago. The USA was still in a state of racial segregation in the fifties!

Re:... and?

But true in a lot of cases.

What so if I can find several unemployed black men who's only life thrill is to commit crime I can then say that the stereotype of the criminal black man is true? This is not an argument.

Stating a belief as a declaration does not an argument make

I should know. I live here. I have since birth.

Ok and? This makes you an authority of national sociology or psychology? Maybe you've lived your entire life up in the Aryan Nation compound in Coeur d'Alene? Or in a igloo in Nome, Alaska? How do you know this then? Racial memory?

We believe...claims.

You then make a general statement that completely contradicts your first statement by going from an unspecified amount to a specified one. The usage of "we" implies "all Americans" when you in fact mean "what I believe most Americans think".

To speak one nation's wrongs and not other implies that all other nations are without guilt. I don't see you jumping to arms over France denying Ebay the ability to sell Nazi memorabilia or Germany fighting the Church of Scientology.

No. You don't like American policy. Fine. But you provide no constructive argument and instead make inflammatory comments that do nothing but complicate the issue.

I guess in your perfect world we could only exercise Freedoms that you approve of.
