Shabazz insults the intelligence of Blacks by speaking for Blacks unelected. He can speak for himself because the black community did not elect him to represent! It is very hard for me to express how he offended me.

Racism is probably at the lowest level it has ever been in America. Statements like those from the "new " Black Panther Party just inflame racism and contribute to it. How many nations in the world have the racial mix America does and enjoy the level of peace and tranquility between the differing races? America is an example of racial harmony, and racism is defeated through educations and national, state and local laws.

RT's obsessive persistence in dredging up topics that brings attention to US "racism" may be symptomatic of a deep ingrain malaise in Russian national character - accusing others to assuage one's own flaws. This passion for pointing fingers at US supposed racism lends credence to my impression that Russia has a long row to hoe before she has shaken off the shackles communist mentality. It was common for the Soviet "news media" to bombard their audience with massive fraudulent anti-US propaganda.

Most US blacks know that with the respect endowed by a part-black president and and a deep, inseparable impact on US culture in sports, music & such, to start their own nation as Shabazz suggests would be social suicide. Black Americans are now part of the US establishment whether they like it or not. Meanwhile in Russia..... Accusing the Russians of 'racism' is like accusing the Africans of 'racism'. Both areas are vast, dangerous places full of desperate poverty-stricken people focusing their rage on foreigners of any kind...white or black...And let's not even consider the opinions of some hypocritical European trying to draw attention away from Europe's colonial past. The Russians have been victims of systematic racial genocide from the Mongols to the Nazis which took the lives of millions, not just an occasional stabbing or beating. Just about every Western nation has attempted to meddle in internal Russian affairs ie. Germany, Scandinavia, Poland, England, Czechoslovakia, France, Japan & the US. The moral of the story is politically correct self-righteousness is no substitute for common sense. As a southern Californian, I don't hang out in Tijuana without expecting trouble but I'm not about to label Mexicans 'racist'.
