In light of the tragic killing of black teenager Trayvon Martin — and the manufactured hysteria surrounding it — one thing needs to be stated as clearly and as often as possible: The United States is the least racist and least xenophobic country in the world. Foreigners of every race, ethnicity, and religion know this. Most Americans suspect this. Most black Americans and the entire left deny this...................................

While I don't doubt the possibility in Prager's argument, he doesn't offer one scintilla of evidence to prove any of his opinions. All of his points are anecdotal and merely opinion. He would be hard pressed to prove his contention to those minorities who, all their lives, have been spoon fed the race-baiting rhetoric of the left.
The Denver Post had a story this week about a Somali immigrant who was killed in a Denver drive by. And while sad, especially after all he went through to get to America, the level of violence here is so minimal compared to his birthplace.
One reason the Martin/Zimmerman case is getting so much press is because it is fairly rare. Black on Black crime is much more common.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.

I've been all over the world and America is by far the least racist, least class consious country in the world..Its not proof, its called and opinion, thats what people share on message boards and its comes from life experience LGT..You might want to push yourself away from the keyboard once and awhile and go out and get some- then you wouldn't be so boring and someone somewhere might actually be interested in the books you write..
Now-If we were in Great Britian right now, nobody would want to even talk to you because your unemployed..You'd be considered garbage, but we here in America all interact with you like your opinion still has value, despite your failures in life, thats America...I love that about this country. Consider yourself lucky to be here
At what point in this country did we decide that just being better than other countries is good enough, we don't have to aim any higher. I don't care so much how we compare to other nations as I do how we compare to where we were last week, the last decade, the previous century. A country should never stop trying to improve, there is always something we can do better.

All we gotta do is deny those 400 people that own everything from buying our politics..We could do it with the stroke of a pen tonight. But nobody talks about it? Its the biggest issue in America..Where's that dreaded "Liberial media" on this? I guess they are owned by the same 400 people huh? Ya think?

I'm sure Hispanics from Central America really believe this. But I'm wondering how the author is able to magically "know" what foreigners of every race, ethnicity and religion know. Is he omnipotent?
