Australia, Canada, New Zealand has just as many freedoms.

Read the question again: Can you name a country that has MORE freedoms than the US? Australia and Canada have much more restrictive laws on firearms ownership than the US does. I don't know about New Zealand, but then again I've never heard of long lines of Americans waiting to emigrate there.

In some parts of the US black persons are still not free....appearance only.

I find that incredible. Where, and which freedoms in the Bill of Rights are forbidden to them?

BTW I omitted the UK because of their treatment of the Irish

I lived in Oxford for quite a few years, and I did my postgrad work at the University there. I'll admit, some of the English are quite racist, particularly against the Scots and Irish. Have you been to the UK, or is your opinion a result of something you've always been told?

Unless you are talking about those incarcerated in jail or prison (which would be true for whites or asians), would you please clarify this statement?
