It is true that within the US there has been and continues to be many social rifts,
racism and other impediments to one group or another. In every instance it stems
from the lingering statist and catholic theology and Marxist thought which bubbles up
from time to time throughout our history
However, no matter how wrong in the past America was, the trend was always
toward more liberty and the thought process and system of change was in place to
effect a better country
But the evils of slavery prior to 1865 is not what made America powerful and rich,
because if slavery did this than Brazil would be just as rich as us. And most of the
rest of the world would have wealth too, because of the slavery that existed there.
It is an insufficient defense of current policies in the rest of the world to say,
"well, America has problems, why talk to us?" Never, not even in the deepest days
of slavery, were people wholesale slaughtered because of race, ethnicity, language,
religion or any other real or perceived difference in America as is taking place today
across the planet.
Not only were we wrong, at the time, but it took 4 ½ years of violence to have the
problem solved. The Yankee belief in individual rights and responsibilities won out
over the paternal hierarchical statist beliefs of the south.
Even though it took another 100 years to get anything really right, we have
shown that not only is it possible, but that it is the inexorable tread of mankind to
seek more liberty and more equality before the law.
It took the changing of a lot of attitudes amongst Americans -- but the changes
occurred because the system was set up to demand accommodation.
In other countries the system is set up to keep people repressed.
If humans are capable of anything it is learning by example. And we have
already provided the best example possible.
Our murder rate is because of the incredible mix of cultures and races, some of
whom bring their hatreds. It is the result of the fact that the gene base of the
American people is from the criminal, crazy, lunatic, violent, nonconformists,
revolutionaries, contrarians and others who did not fit into the conformist cultures of
the rest of the world.
Japan in particular has been adept at keeping all non-Japanese out of Japan.
And it has created a culture of acquiescence to authority. On the other hand the
Japan of pre-WWII was a net exporter of violence and pain and death and mayhem
and murder.
Even the poorest American has more than the middle class of most countries.
To decry poverty in the US is to deny the far deeper and more vast poverty in the
rest of the world. Also the poorest American is entitled to the same rights and
responsibilities as anyone else and can in many circumstances move ahead in the
world.
In most of the rest of the world moving anyone out of poverty is impossible
because the governments are actively engaged in the prevention of wealth.
On the question of what we did to Mexico: The Spanish speaking, white looking
Mexicans stole the country from the natives there and so have no big claim against
us for taking what wasn't theirs in the first place. Plus, the people who wound up
living in the parts of the Southwest America that used to be part of Mexico are far
better off than those who got stuck in the disaster that is Mexico. That is best
exampled by the millions of Mexicans who rush to the United States to get away from
their own statist corrupt hell of government.
Craven hypocrisy in the pursuit of the immediate dollar, even though big
multinational corps are making some money in places like South America and Asia
and the middle east they could make far more money if these places operated more
like the US. Thus it is in the long term interest of these companies to help foster
American style commerce and civil society.
Due to constant flux, especially in tax laws, and added regulations, business
developed a short term mentality within the US. And due to corruption and the most
absurd laws the US corporation has developed a mercenary view of these people.
However, the sneaker producer in Vietnam is better off at a dollar a day from
Nike than he is at a dollar a week from the Vietnamese government enterprise. It is
funny that the only people complaining about US corporate factories in poor
countries are rich limousine liberals in the US who gave not one whit of interest to
these poor countries prior to the arrival of the multinational.
Where was the Japanese or European governments in the development of poor
countries? No where. They were waiting for the US military to make enough of a
presence to ensure peace and they were waiting for the countries themselves to
enact laws and rules more in line with the US. And only then did they step in.
