Hi Chuzz, I don't know what it's like to be black in America these days (well, never, really, as I am white) but I remember what it was like in the 1950's and 1960's in the deep South. I remember separate-but-equal vividly, I have posted about it before, don't really care to repeat myself. I think racial prejudice in USA has not led to outright genocide since the American Indians were reduced to a manageable few by U.S. government policy - blacks were not systematically slaughtered because they could be forced into slavery, where their owners controlled them. American Indians could not, and so were slaughtered, by government action. What I find most horrifying in Kosovo is that the murder, rape, and all is sanctioned by the state, against its own citizens. We see on TV that some of the worst offenders are policemen. That indicates that the society is extraordinarily dysfunctional, and I wonder how it survives.
