VideoGamesSuck.com :: View topic - Treatment of Black People
You are so into movies, you must have seen movies about the treatment of blacks in the US in the past. This is just an example of what racism can do I guess.

I ran into it in the book "In the Shadow of War"
there was an almost exact similar case but after Vietnam.
Well, we had pogroms throughout history all over the world, this is not a typical US thing. Humans are not a nice species overall it seems.

I had never before heard the term pogrom
The thing is, I think this was a typical US thing before the 60's. They have a very violent history, and only recently (since the vietnam war) have they become civilized (that is not to say other countries were/are more civilized)
Take the policy of annihilation that wiped out so many Indians.

The above wikipedia page gives quite a few examples from the same era elsewhere in the world.

I am not sure why you mention this. The wiping out of indians was the 19th century, and at that time the entire world was much more violent and the US were just a country like all others I suppose.

I don't understand your point here.

Come on dude! Did you not read the part where I said "[America has] a very violent history"

Are the organisms of all the races the same? Is there any difference between a black and a white except for the color?

Obviously there are minor physical differences between races (build, hair, colour) and maybe there are non-physical differences too, but it seems fair to assume these are minor too (otherwise they would be easily noticable). But I take it your question refers to something else?

I tried to say that every country has (and many even more so), so what's the point?

No, your answer is what I asked for.

That's just the thing, puk is not someone in his right mind so why would he care?

I always use this the other way around, I say I am not racist and this leds people to believe I am in my right mind.

I have never heard that phrase used out of the context of "who in their right mined..."
