Britain ended slavery before we did and humans are creatures of habit. People say America is more racist because we were once viewed that way I think it was about 52% of voters who voted for Obama. I saw on TV last year about white supremecists plotting to assasinate him. Also, some people yelled at him and made deragotory remarks about him. Only his dad was black, but he is still a minority. Personally, I don't think a minority race member in any country was democraticly elected before Obama last year. So, I wish the world would realize we are not all racists.
