    I had absolutely no idea people denied the existence of racism in the USA. Though I shouldn't be so surprised since I heard that some people deny the holocaust or the military coup that happened in my country 50 years ago.

  • Yes, and people have been wrongly executed for crimes they did not commit. No system is perfect. I'm just saying that race has far less involvement in these situations than the media is hyping it up to be, and just as you gave the example of an Indian man facing police brutality (I took your word, I didn't look at the link) it isn't a problem facing just the black community. Police brutality is something that should be taken into consideration, racist police brutality is only a specified portion of this problem. It's why I agree with the many various things being done to negate police brutality such ad body mounted cameras being mandatory for officers.

    The thing is, it's not that simple some of the time. There have been incidents where Black and Brown people have been falsely accused for cr

  • Brazil :)

    We suffered a military coup on 1964, but some people insist on calling it a "military revolution to save us for the dangers of socialism", even with all the people that were tortured and kidnapped. Some bodies were never found, and to this day people are fighting for the right to bury their loved ones.

    Otherwise known as : NATO backed, right-wing coup. If I remember correctly, something similar happened in Chile in 73 when Chile took over.

  • It did. It happened on many latin american countries. The worst part is that there are people that want it back. They say we are living in a "communist dictatorship" now. They have no idea of what a dictatorship actually is, because if we were living in one, they would have already "disappeared" for saying that kind of stuff in public.

    But back to the issue at hand, I see that people deny things that doesn't affect them. It is like those cart-pulling horses that wear that "mask" that prevents them from looking to the sides. Since they don't suffer racism, there is no racism. They were not taken into any concentration camps, so there was no holocaust. They were not tortured and murdered by the dictatorship, so there was no coup. It's ridiculous.
