    I'm sorry, but when did America abdicate its role as leader of the FREE world? Oh, right last Nov 8,2016.

    Are you not familiar with the concept of the leader taking the heat?

    It's not just the US. Europe, Australia, Canada, and all other majority white countries are expected to have "equality" with non-whites. The people in those countries are expected to not care if their countries are filling up with "others".

    As far as I know there is no other country made up entirely of emigrants. Even the people called 'native Americans' aren't. The proper title for them would be 'first Americans' as history supports they came to American by crossing the Bering Straits.

    Can you please define equals for us? It may be easier to research to see if one exists or not.

    I always hear about how minorities are treated as second class citizens. Equal meaning not second class citizens

    Thankfully sonnets written by Zionist poets was never our immigration policy. It was only added to the Statue of Liberty in 1903. We had a long established country before that.

    But it's funny how she believed Jews needed their own special homeland in order for them to exist as a people (this was 50-60 years before muh holocaust), but in America? She had a completely different view. Come one, come all!

    I love these threads where alt right trump apologists make some asinine observation so they can sit back with their arms folded and say,"nuh uh."

    Point is guys, no country is willing to let outsiders in and treat them as equals. No country ever has.

    And that's why no country is expected to.

    Except the white ones.

    Whites set up nice places to live and then they get run over by hordes of swarthy third worlders.

    It is what it is.

    Leaders don't measure what they do by what others do but by their own beliefs and values. Our value as a nation is expressed in our Declaration of Independence "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." and on the Statue of Liberty, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

    As the leader of the free world, which we have been until now with Trump, we set a standard for others. We have promoted democracy around the world, but fail to live up to that standard ourselves. We use our wealth and military power to control many countries around the world, and we self righteously claim we have the best society, yet we are a racist country, a country that does not give equality to all peoples of different ages, genders, races, ethnicities, and religions. We claim "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses" but don't live by that motto.

    What else that stands out to me in this thread is that the OP seeks to find values by measuring his against others. One of the most important things most people try to teach their children is that you don't do something just because others do it. If Johnny bullies a classmate, does that mean it is okay for you too do it too? Do we teach our children, yes, if Johnny does it then you do it too? No. The right thing to do is live by your stated values, not to measure your behavior by anyone elses.

    That is also what leaders do.

    1) you want to see a racist society? go to a couple of different NE Asian countries. and most Americans (from what I can gather) just want immigrants who'll respect the laws and culture, work hard, and stay away from crime. no one gives a flying fig about race.

    2) and when your 'stated values' are unproven, socially problematic, and potentially lethal? all that matters is that you expressed your individuality, right? jeezus H christos. the upshot - teaching your kids to please themselves is a very bad idea. Conformity absolutely has its place in terms of safety and progress in life.

    You completely miss the point. We don't do what we do by comparing ourself to other countries. We do what we do based on our stated and fundamental values. Which, BTW, have made us the strongest and most successful country in the world: our country was built by immigrants. Always throughout our history (but you are probably not familiar with historical fact) immigrants have needed time to blend into our society, from their perspective and from the perspective of the larger community. It's never been easy for our communities to quickly accept minorities, but we have and it has made us a strong country. People who can't do that and don't want to do that show themselves to be mean spirited, small and weak.

    Leaders generally have an expectation that some will follow.
