So it's so bad and full of so much wrong....why the *@!% are you here?Originally Posted by hongcouver604
%%!% America, this is coming from a US citizen, too. Funny how the government says they care for its' own people when they can't even provide the basic necessities of health care. Billions of dollars spent on the military and defense while the country is a trillion dollars in debt, the quality of education is steadily declining while other countries are on the rise and look at the employment rate all over the country... and don't get me started on institutionalized racism.
Y'all Americans act so self-righteous, it's funny. Yet, when most Americans travel abroad they expect the citizens of the country they're visiting to adhere to their "American" cultural values. I see it all the time when I travel abroad.
It's only a matter of time for the countries' downfall on the global stage, and when it does happen, the rest of the world will be pointing and laughing.

As much as people wanna bash on America, name more than 5 other countries in the world you'd realistically be able to live the way you do in America.

Also, she was clearly commenting on the person's behaviour, and disgusting it is.
Another thing that I would like to say is that by pointing out something or somebodys flaws, does not make you against them entirely. It just means that see something that needs to be reformed -- and that can come from a place of love, a neutral place, or a place of hatred. She was pointing out a flaw that happens to often on American streets (especially in NYC/subways).
* WHO EVER SAID SHE IS FROM WEST INDIA (I DID SEE IT UP THERE BEFORE, YOU ARE ONLY PROVING HER, AND OTHER PEOPLES POINT THAT AMERICANS ARE DUMB. THE REGION IS CALLED THE WEST INDIES, ALSO REFERRED TO AS THE CARIBBEAN!

On another note:You can take the lady outta West India but you can't take the West India outta her.
Her attitude towards Americans isn't going change just because she lives in America.
Its like an atheist that goes to a christian church.

Don't talk about oppression in other countries until you mention the United States role in creating that oppression.
America is nothing but the international picture shoved into a box.
