Absolutely none.>> south africa at the mo is arguably better run than usa, even if with all the crimes etc, because in enough ways, usa scores worse <<Is it racist to pose that question? No. It is a valid question.>> its validity depends on its validity, and on its relevancy, and on forward development. looking at history up to this point is hardly worthwhile as africa improves in civilization and pop cultures elsewhere devolve, epi-centered around washington. should you be correct in your assumptions and premise, then team usa is even more toast than we can now suspect. let us watch and brief and anticipate and learn <<Is it racist to answer it?
