Xenophobia is a growing problem in the US. From Michael Richard's (aka Kramer) rant a few months ago to this guy (in the clip above) just recently...America has a problem. It goes both ways though, just watch the clip below from this guy Dr. Kamau Kambon who calls for the extermination of white people. How is this guy any different from David Duke. Is it okay to say these things if you are black? Of course not. I would venture to say humans love to find reasons to hate their neighbor. Take Rwanda for example (see Rwanda genocide). When the Dutch occupied it they designated (arbitrarily) people into two groups, Hutu and Tutsis. The Hutu were the "whiter" of the black people and the Tutsis were delegated to the role of servant class even though both groups were exactly the same physically and in all other aspects. This was an artificial division created by the Dutch which I take as proof that people will take even fabricated differences to use as an excuse to hate one another. It is a sad state of affairs.
