Facts. Quite a few ignorant comments on this post follow the classic "discrimination has nO pLaCe iN tHiS cOuNtrY!!!" by amnesiacs who need to be reminded that just 6 decades ago it was a COMMON & POPULAR American cultural practice to hog-tie pregnant black women upside down on tree branches and burn them alive for fun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_in_the_United_States.

Should we talk about how equally they treated Native Americans? (they've slaughtered 99% of them and stolen their land which they continue to live on and enjoy as their own).

And remember, they're going to teach the world about human rights and equality!
