WHAT do ENGLISH people think about AMERICA? | PART 2

[@Goldfish2005]

Oh, the irony of the British man at the 3:20 mark saying "...taking a country away from native peoples". At its height, the British empire was the largest in world history. It covered around 25% of the world's land surface. Large areas of North America, Australia, Africa, and Asia were all part of the British empire at one time or other. And who do you think colonized North America? Britain, France, Spain, and the Netherlands all established colonies in North America. In the year of 1919, the following modern day countries were a part of the British Empire: Afghanistan Antigua and Barbuda The Bahamas Bahrain Barbados Belize Botswana Brunei Canada (Only the province of Newfoundland and Labrador) Cyprus Dominica Egypt Fiji The Gambia Ghana Grenada India Iraq Jamaica Jordan Kenya Kiribati Kuwait Lesotho Malawi Malaysia Maldives Malta Mauritius Myanmar Nauru New Zealand Nigeria Oman Pakistan Qatar St Lucia Saint Kitts and Nevis St Vincent and the Grenadines Seychelles Sierra Leone Solomon Islands South Africa Sri Lanka Sudan Swaziland Tanzania Tonga Trinidad and Tobago Tuvalu Uganda United Arab Emirates Vanuatu Yemen Zambia Zimbabwe

I do think that Brits, and all Europeans, are too quick to elide over their historical roles in colonialism and imperialism. When you call them on this, they tend to get indignant.

America is such a large country that It has the space for their to be cultural differences Added to this you have certain regions where people migrating into America prefer to consolidate as there are already established familiar resources there for them. This creates the adoption of certain lifestyles, religious and lingual preferences gaining predominace in certain areas. I think most people considering migrating to another country would target areas where there are already people of their own culture there. This is perfectly understandable for many reasons.

I feel like I need to come in here and just say that during my time living in the UK for a couple of years as an ex-pat, I most definitely felt racism there more than I do here in the US. Sure, when there is racism in America, it’s loud and in-your-face but I find that it happens only occasionally. (Though, I’ve never personally encountered it here in California.) In the UK, the racism/classism is more subtle and very hush-hush but, in my opinion, more prevalent and omnipresent. Especially, outside of London. I find it humorous how that one guy can lay the blame of taking away land from the natives on Americans when technically the colonists were still technically English at the time. Also, a PSA to the English: Stop going to Florida as your first visit to the US. It’s not really our best foot forward.

[@alasarcher400]

I believe USA is only Western country exclusively built up from scratch by slave labor. Almost all famous buildings were built by slaves: White house, Harvard university, Capitol, Wall street, Smithsonian, Faneuil Hall and almost all houses of founding fathers. So when people go to see all those famous historical buildings, they are looking at things built by slaves. Thats why its impossible to separate USA history from slavery, because slavery had most impact on building and expansion of USA. Western expansion was basically paid by revenue gained by cotton export which was worked mostly by slaves, Texas was annexed because more land for needed for slaves to work. And no, not every country was created by killing the native inhabitants. There were times where countries were "annexed" by other countries, but examples where most of population of certain land was killed off and lands taken are rare and never happened on such massive scale like in North America.

Do the British know......The Abolition of Slavery In Britain On 28th August 1833 a very important act received its Royal Assent. The Slavery Abolition Law would finally be enacted, after years of campaigning, suffering and injustice. This act was a crucial step in a much wider and ongoing process designed to bring an end to the slave trade. Only a few decades previously, in 1807 another act had been passed which had made it illegal to purchase slaves directly from the African continent. Nevertheless, the practice of slavery remained widespread and legal in the British Caribbean.

The woods go on forever. Some of the best outdoors activities (skiing, hiking, sailing) are available there. Some of my best memories (including my honeymoon) have been spent up there.

[@historichomestead]

@@ejlayne6543 your reply has demonstrated your narrow learning on how America is. People from all over the world come to the United States. Even large amounts from other modern, industrialized nations. I hate to use "emotional" evidence however, I have seen first hand how people from those so called "third world countries" have achieved the "american dream". In America nothing is handed to you. If you do not have the will or dedication to pursue what you desire no one is just going to give you a participation ribbon. I have seen homeless people go to Harvard. I have seen an aluminum caster from India become a doctor. On the other side of the spectrum I have seen almost every leading corporation that is head quartered around the world open locations in the US. You are obviously not from the US so all of your knowledge is derived from second or third hand sources. I live here. And for you to say all of America is one way when we are a union of 50 countries. That is why each state has the power to create it's own laws with it's own constitution etc. New York is widely different than Wyoming. Texas shares little in common with Washington state. But our shared union is what holds us together. And if you do not like how the laws or government or people or culture is in one state you have the freedom to move to another. Your position is based entirely off speculation and media observation that is largely propaganda of one political side or the other. I would advise you in the future if you desire to form a stronger rebuttal actually know about the subject you are debating and make concise arguments not vague statements based on second or third hand knowledge. Furthermore, I am one such working class person. I do quite well for myself. I make $33,000 a year. I live by myself. My house is completely paid off as is my car and I have money left over to save. It has nothing to do with what "class" you belong to. It has to do with your choices. If you treat America like a welfare state of course you wont be able to get by. That's largely people that do not work and get food and utility assistance from their government. In America if you work hard you can have the American dream.

There is one question that as an Englishman I would love to have some answers from Americans. It is this......Why when there was the rioting and invasion of the Whitehouse on Jan 6th did the police and security not open fire on the rioters ? The police seem to need little provocation to shoot people when there are riots in cities and towns - especially coloured people. Yet when there is an angy and in some cases armed mob storming the most sacred of your institutions who were physically attacking the security staff there was not a blood bath ? It seemed like the security staff and police had been ordered not to use firearms ? That is the way it looked. Only when the rioters got close to the congress where firearms drawn and used. There are unaswered questions here.

[@simoneaddo644]

As an American it’s quite normal. Police was originally created to catch slaves so like it’s rooted in racism. So they kinda treat black ppl different to white people. The rioters who stormed the capitol in Washington were armed but they were calmly subdued without tear gas or rubber bullets but the Black Lives Matter protesters were shot and branded as thugs. Its interesting that ppl from other countries see these differences. Growing up here I experienced it

[@kellyfaunce717]

This was asked during testimony in Congress. The short answer is that the Capitol Police did not get any support from the White House that day and were outnumbered and outgunned by the mob, and opening fire on the crowd would have led to a firefight they knew they couldn't win. So they opted to evacuate the chambers and try to hold the line.

Its an ongoing debate here in America but the long and short of it is either A) They were on the side of the attackers, which is entirely possible given how police are viewed as saviors by the political party of the attackers, or B) they didn't expect a what started as a normal protest to evolve into what essentially became a coup d'état
