Wait a minute, isn't America the only place in the world where the race of the person is declared in the passport?

What does identifying the person by race have to do with racism? Let's 'stretch' this by asking where a black person has more opportunities to succeed and even become the head of a company or president of the US? You're still so silly after a year or more? </div></div>

This is where is starts for kunumuners

Okaay, one black president elected. It all depends on how far you come from and how far do you want to go.

You are the person who are always complaining about some racism or the other, you be president? you run anything? you get the opportunities?

How many blacks in the US gain these so-called equal opportunities?

As a black person, if I said I have not been given opportunities to succeed here in Europe I would be telling grave lies.

For all the wrong done to blacks in the US, call the president their reparation for slavery

the history of blacks in europe is different to those in the US so comparing the level of racism based on political appointments in nonsense. but if it comforts your mind to feel you are fared better where you are. me happy fe you

next argument, the dollar lower than the euro that proves how racist the US is

I've never seen or known of any dead black men found hanging from trees in the UK. Isn't that more racist than being turned down for a job?

There were still a few remnants of blacks left over from slavery,those mainly settled in liverpool,but the vast majority of black people only started to migrate to the UK after the second world war.
In terms of racism and brutality towards black I would have to give the trophy to the US,they do have a world of knowledge and experience to offer in terms of lynchings,burnings,and murder in the foulest way against blacks.

I disagree with you that an Obama would never be possible in the UK,...400 years is a very long time,and there is no reason why a black man could never become prime minister in the UK in another 300 hundred years,...Obama has shown that it is possible,it only takes the right kind of black man with the right message.

Lets not forget that Obama`s win was possible because he galvanised black people who would never consider voting,in another 300 hundred years the ethnic make-up of the UK will be far more different than it is now,....any prospective black prime minister wont just be relying on the white vote,he will be able to draw considerably from black people voting.</div></div>
Fair points.. only time will tell but right now the UK I find has a long way to go if we are to compare it with the USA right here right now. Another comparison in 300 - 400 hundred years will tell but who knows if the earth will still be habital by then???

I can't some how with all the galvanising you mentioned that the upper class in the UK will stand for it. I cannot see the monarch and what it represent accepting and annointing a 'black' prime minister. British aristocracy will be up in arms but as you say who knows in the future.

Re: uk more racist dan us

In another 300 - 400 years, I will be the queen and will have more money than the bank of england.

Yes, in another 300 - 400 years.

This got to be the biggest cop out argument me ever seen. Why do anything? Just wait for change in 300 to 400 years.

How can anyone seriously discuss CHANGE and refer to 300 to 400 years for the difference to come into effect? What if everybody who want change would sit down and wait for 400 years? Got to be kidding.

I think you really should go back and read the responses thoroughly before you wade in,
the 300 to 400 years refered to the time it has taken white americans to finally elect a black president,.......and we all know no one was sitting down and waiting for change,we all know the struggles in that period of time.

Britain is virtually in its infancy where black people are concerned,unlike the united states there were no large population of blacks here after the end of slavery,most of their slaves were sent to the caribbean during slavery,unlike the united states black people in britain are virtually all second and third generations from immigrants who settled <span style="font-weight: bold">after the second world war </span>.

I refer to the 300 or four hundred years that it may take these generations to be at the position that one may become a british prime minister,....no one said anything about <span style="font-weight: bold"> wait for change</span> no one said anything about sitting down and wait for difference to come into effect,......black americans didnt sit down and wait for changes to come into effect,...however,..it has certainly takem them a few centuries where they are now,...and even so it took an half black half white man to become president,...and even so black people are still suffering racism in the united states.

Re: uk more racist dan us

Valid points, both Britain and the US have their good and bad points. Both are generally free and tolerant and offer opportunity.

A good point of reference regarding for what was generally considered as the beginning of mass migration of black people to Britain. Is a series called &quot;The Windrush Years&quot;. First broadcast in 1998 to celebrate 50 years of the first wave immigrants coming to Britain from Jamaica aboard the SS Empire Windrush.

I think its available on Google Video, its a worthwhile watch
