Could that possibly happen in real life


I may be out on a limb here, because I've never been to US, or Europe for that matter.

But I am curious, is the "Skinheads Hardliners" -if I might call them- an existing thing by then? I thought America's past those things since a very long time!

(...) America past those things since a very long time?

All that came out of the United States, how can it come to an end? For example, the well know group Hammerskin Nation continues recruiting new frustrating young kids everyday.

And they might be in there best times. Nowadays the racism is getting bigger and bigger and the levels of frustration equally. Kids don't have jobs, don't have nothing to hang on, they seek this things. How do you think for example, ISIS have all those people fighting for nothing? Brain wash.

And since the Obama election, Ku Klux Klan started recruiting people again. I don't know how many right now.

Well I was shocked because the media show us a total different picture about what is going on there. I can understand the ISIS situation though because I know the level of brain wash that a VERY LARGE slice of the community here is suffering from, unfortunately.

Yes.

The U.S. likes to parade around Obama to cover up a lot of the stains of the past. Racial tensions are getting even heavier these days.

reply

things like this exist everywhere but obviously an extreme group that is prejudiced against practically EVERYONE will not openly advertise and make their presence known heavily in public since they do not want to be attacked and/or bothered

its not 'America' its everywhere

not necessarily skinheads, but extreme groups who hate others. I don't know where you are but if you don't realize that there are heavily racist and prejudiced groups EVERYWHERE then you aren't getting out enough. it's not a matter of time or location

If i go crazy will you still call me Superman?

reply

People outside the U.S. don't see it or understand it, but they also don't see the reasons for it. They assume that blacks are the same over here that they are over there. It's just not true. There is so much crime, violence, ignorance and haltered coming from the black communities. A lot of the time the skin heads, Nazis, etc. are just responding to it and protecting themselves and their culture.
