saaxib. Swedes didnt conquer lands other side the ocean and exterminated the natives. Swedes didnt go all the way to the dark continent to buy slaves. I suggest you read the countries history, before you play the "all countries have done that" card.
You do realize that many countries/civilizations have had slaves? The Romans, the Egyptians, African city states, Arab Kingdoms. Heck, slavery is even allowed under Islam. But with that said, slavery was an institution that was abolished several hundred years ago. Now a black man, with a slave descended wife and kids, is President of the United States. So I suggest you brush up on some history yourself, before you try to kill us with your self righteousness.
Under the roman empire, people believed horses fell down from the sky for some time. In ancient egypt, they believed cats and snakes should be worshipped. Are you comparing those civilizations to united states, that just gave blacks their full civil right only 50 years ago? A country where racial profiling is praised?
Usa has the worlds largest prison. They were behind the crack distribution in the streets of washington. They are the ones who open a licker store in every lower income neighbourhood.
I can list million of things that no other country in the face of the earth has the moral to do.
So its not a suprise why a outsider like me, wonder why americans say "god bless america"
But perhaps those things slips your mind.
