Sorry I don't want to turn this into a debate but I feel like you're being disingenious; black people are getting killed all around your country because of their skin colour, and you have private prisons that systematically exploit prison labour. How are the social, political, and cultural challenges for your country different than theirs? I live in a country the USA has deemed an autocracy, I'm not apart of the ruling class, but I am living safe and not being targeted with hateful violence. Likewise, are you ignorant to the plight of ethnic minorities in your country and the hateful violence they experience? It just seems so chauvanist of you to say that your country is superior than anothers because you have the privilege of being "safe".
