That's the impression I get from the news about the USA. Well, the little I hear about it. Apparently there was an incident where a player from the Seattle Seahawks was near an area with reported gunshots and police officers threw him to the ground and put a gun to his head before doing anything else. The premise of "guilty until proven otherwise" seems to be a real thing for black people in the USA. This "guilty until proven otherwise" is implied in the sentence you removed from my quote. |
Yeah ... not really. Our media just overblows and exaggerates the issue because race relations is the most popular topic of the past few years. There are obvious times where something unjust happens due to race, but that's the same for pretty much every country. Even if it happens dispraportionately in the US, it's not like guilty until proven innocent is actually something that applies to black people. I wouldn't even say that's true most of the time.
Honestly .. when are we going to stop pretending like the US is the worst country on earth?
