Don't forget about the endemic racism and genocide that has existed in America since it's founding, and still exists to a lesser extent now.

- thrden 8y agoI know this has already been down voted, but I want to point out that this exact dialog was invented by the soviet union to distract from their abysmal human rights records[1]. Moreover, it doesn't even make sense as a deflection given that the Soviet Union had institutional racism at a very high level, ranging from antisemitism [2] to ethnic cleansing[3] to outright genocide[3]. America is certainly guilty of racism, and we should discuss these issues. However, it should not be used as a weapon to defend evil regimes.
