Well then i guess you never went to areas where their were neo-nazis or such?? I can goto places in the states where i wouldn't see racism either. Its really not as horrible as people make it out to be, just some scumbags make America look like some evil place and we're not. We'll be even less unpleasant to the world once Mr GW leaves office. That man has done alot to make American look like a bunch of idiots, from being antisocial to the rest of the world to pulling out of treaties hes snubbed the World over and over and its giving us a bad look. Only 2 more years though...2 more years ...thank god ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Bailey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 11:24 AM Subject: RE: The racial Bias in the US.. > There was not much racism as I remember growing up in Germany.
