When people talk about America, they speak as if it’s all one place but it’s actually different states all over so if you can imagine Texas can be Scotland and California is England. So what we see on the news doesn’t happen in every state as some states have a lot of mixed communities in comparison to others. So I guess you would be fine in general just be careful where you go.♥️

It's not as bad as it looks on tv! Black people are a hugely important part of American culture and the object of love and admiration across a lot of different sub cultures. The immigration and law enforcement officers you are talking about are very likely to be African American themselves.

Yes there are some places where the inner city conflicts with the suburbs and its surely a racial situation but that's an isolated phenomenon and is unlikely to come up on your trip.

Enjoy the states and if you are going to make it to Chicago hit me up :)

As a "black" person, I would visit Atlanta, Georgia in US....if you enjoy large cities....Atlanta's metro population is 70% black....

Out of curiosity. How is Chicago now? Got a few american buddies who watch me play online an they have told me to not go L.A an if I do at least avoid north L.A and also said not to visit Chicago

You're not likely to get any hassles from immigration. As for the police, you should be OK. The precaution you'll have to take with them will be to a) avoid as discreetly as possible and, b) if they do engage you, cooperate at all times and never be argumentative in any way. If you have a legit problem with an American officer, take it up through legal channels AFTER the incident. Never during. That is a sure way to escalate.

Follow the rules above, and you'll be fine. Road trips highly recommended!

So you are just telling him to be subservient to the cops, bow your head and you will be fine? What sort of holiday is this? What sort of mentality is that?

Being belligerent and disrespectful. What sort or mentality is that?

Straw man. Argue better.

From my experience at first police may be arms house,
No good cop bad cop both will be bad cop. But once they hear your accent and you tell them you ain’t no N****** but a black man from UK they will change and you be ok.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Once the accent is evident and they know you are a tourist there should be no hassle, provided you are breaking no laws - also something to be careful with since laws vary from state to state. Smoke safe, smoke free.

Same as anywhere nowadays, do your research find out where not to be etc, just dont reach for your identification too quickly and youll be fine!

I’m a white American leftist, and I’ve got my eye on social policy all over the place. Obviously America is reckoning with its generations-old, overt racist culture right now, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go see a gorgeous country. Wherever you go, the police will likely be 100% dogshit because that’s what police are. Absolute bottom line, I hope this post is old as fuck because PLEASE don’t travel, PLEASE don’t push these guidelines for COVID

You said it all in your first 5 words. Some of my friends are police and without them we’d be at the mercy of the mob much like parts of America are now. There are good cops, there are bad ones. By tarnishing a whole set of people in a negative way you’re no better than the racists you mention. Ridiculous comment.

Friends in high places I see, all become clearer!😂

You're not paranoid but everyone is out to get you. LoL

Nice generalisation and overtly activistic comment. It doesn't answer the question and posits vastly inaccurate information. Much love though.

White American I guess cos this is not what I hear from friends and family over there but hey call my comment what you wish.. much love though

In the absence of fact, let salt and imagination light your way. Ahhh bless.

In the absence of facts? Are you for real??? Please don't bother replying!

I thought I'd let you trip yourself up on your own assumptions, rebel against what people ask or tell me to do, then impart I have black family in both the USA and the UK (that probably counts for nothing against pure activist ideology because people are never happy no matter what your factual postion). Did you ever ask what my race was? Neither my family nor me need activists fighting our battles. Thanks for the wokish concern, but please virtue signal elsewhere :)

No victims here.

Peace out. xxx

Now I understand why racism is such a poison in America , you guys seem to either ignore it or deny it or just minimize it as if nothing ever happens..sad b..

The OP is comfortably pre-COVID.

I felt exactly the same as a mixed race guy with a few Arab country trips under my belt. It's a different situation, but immigration particularly worried me.
Then I went to Vegas and did a bit of a Harley Davison road trip. I found nothing but warm generosity from everyone I met along the way. As those above, people of all races went out of their way to be more kind and helpful than I've ever experienced at home.

Stop watching the MSM, be polite and don’t be a jerk or break the law. Basic really. People of all races can fall victim to a bad cop just like they can meet one who’ll help them out.

I would not bother if I was you.

Our media does not represent reality. Everyone is welcome over here!

You should be fine, just avoid Washington and Oregon if possible. They aren't the most welcoming.

It's not to that degree at all. Some may go out of their way to accommodate you out of shame.

And many will just shoot you just because they can

Helpful. Really helpful.

You are more than welcome here, please come and enjoy your stay, foreign tourists are welcomed, we need the money!

Have an awesome time, in the south you will be the majority race in most situations (at least the fun ones).

Just remember when someone asks "how is your day going?" it means you should be reaching for a tip. ;)

We've missed you Hunter, how is the afterlife treating you?

Slight Authoritarianism from Trump is the only similarity, you cant be serious actually saying this

In both countries its a free market economy for small players. Once there is size it changes, in China big firms are controlled by government in the US big firms control the government.

this basic information - the number of innocent people whose murder you are financing - is never disclosed to american citizens. instead it's an endless salute to the brave men and women that killed them.

Uk be doing it lot longer

Love the part where General Dynamics is teaching 5th graders how to build nuclear submarines. One sub can kill everyone in over 100 large cities.

Always comes down to the dollars

Easy to claim as propaganda. Do you really think China, Russia and N Korea give accurate data?
India has 2bn inhabitants, you think someone is going to Jail in India for the same things as they do in the states?
Maybe the headline should emphasise the comparable developed world where data and figures are at least reasonably accurate. In that case the United States is going to have the highest prison population by virtue of the size of the Nation.

Its the highest incarceration rate on earth *per capita*.

Yes, if people like the ones at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston become leaders.

Wow, it's hard to remember this is what human beings can be.

there has been so much more killing since then and as beautiful as this inspiration is, its hard to imagine there is enough love anywhere to stop the mass murder that is part of regular life now

Sure kid, just like a horse race.

Space travel for what? Branson is going to operate consumer flights, but how many times can billionaires fly to ISS before they get bored? Not many people can afford $150k for a short vacation.

tourism will always remain in the back seat. the commercialization of space has been about serving the planet as a whole with communications, its brought up the un-cabled world just like mobile phones have brought up the last mile. there is huge potential in energy production and distribution coming next.

space travel for discovery, learning and inspiration. the world could really use a moment of peaceful triumph.

Branson has sold tickets for twenty years without delivering a ride not sure how he is relevant to anything here.

Elon Musk estimates 5-10 years to get to Mars. At present the cost is $1 Billion per ton, so it'd need to be 1/1000th of the cost, apparently. The ship will also need to be reusable.

Traveling Mars is also not a point and shoot mission. You have to coordinate launches with the alignment of the planets' orbits to travel the shortest distance and not fly past the sun. This also requires a stay on Mars as you wait for safe realignment after landing. Current technology estimates a 21 month round-trip given a ~3 month stay on Mars. Money is not the biggest hurdle.

When I say 5-10 years, I mean to design and engineer the cost down, not journey time.

go open source, add new states, virtual citizenship and most of all healthy competition with other nations not war

Competition in what? Our largest industries are healthcare and pharma. Getting Americans to change is a huge hurdle.

competition for new citizens, with decreasing population the game is going to change and the usa at least remembers how to play

100%, this is always the u.s. advantage but politicians run on keeping people out not in

If its a 12 step program, seems like all this realisation right now is step 1.

outlaw political donations there's plenty of free coverage to get the pitches across anyway.

American free speech protects political donations, even from corporations.

No, this country is cursed, theres a lot of bad karma waiting.

k-rino has a nice rap-recap on this

Hollywood. The American dreM. Clever marketing for a past its date super power.

So who is the cool cowboy now?

What if nothing needs to be fixed but this is an opportunity for us to see what we don’t want our world to be…duality …we cannot know the one without the other

Peter Breggin. MD, former psychiatrist who took on the APA when profit motive became greater than the hypocratic oath doctors take to "first, do no harm", became the conscience of Psychiatry. Later in life he has runs a radio show exposing those persons involved in the Globalization Movement that is quickly eroding the common person's civil rights and creating barriers to those who choose to leave a work culture where your boss becomes your God and if you are lucky, you may receive paltry insurance and limited sick leave....the US is a nation of brainwashed drones who.probably have never had an original thought in their lifetime.

Dr Breggin advises us little people to organize and speak up....be a patriot....but look who we are up against....

Any lbs out there know of a better place to live where meager pensions are paid to elders who have to live on $2k a month and paid in Social Security taxes since they began work over 30 years agos. Thanks to Ronald Reagan and others like him repealed the formation of a self sustaining retirement system that President Clinton wanted.....

This is the tip of a gigantic iceburg to which any organized public outcry can be crushed by the Patriot Act.

Not to mention US top organizations, including the military, continue funding the weaponization of a once benign bat virus...

Population control has begun....freedom of speech has been compromised by media spin doctors, and a true Republic has turned communist......these globalists like Bill Gates, President Biden, George Soros, and anonymous billionaires are acting against law and liberty to defund any classes of us with little money, and spin doctor the media to brainwash us to believe we are having racial tension; what really is happening is class warfare.

Why do billionaires want just their money but the commoners money too? How much is enough to live on?

I get mad and feel compelled to stop the US from becoming part of the Communist Party of China.

Rather than dwell on frustration, I will smoke some kush mints so I can even sleep!

americas greatness came from common values attracting immigration from around the planet. make that again and yall have a chance

They've opened their borders and it's destroying them . What waffle

The country is too big to properly manage. To many different rules per state. The poverty and opioid epidemic is absolutely shocking beyond belief. Equality issues. Mad presidents and to many super rich families. Now
Let’s all head on down to Walmart to keep that cycle continued 😁👍

This guy never existed it was all hollywood fiction,now they are more likely to show America defeating the universe and saving humanity as they struggle to try and persuade everybody they are still the good guys and not a bunch of screaming mad nazi thieves going about the planet threatening other nations and causing wars and misery where ever they go.

The population grew to large. The citizen / individual is now a defunct concept. Group politics prevail. Democracy is dead.

America needs a strong leader. The country is in a mess and it's going to get a lot worse till it gets better.

52 different states with 52 different versions of law doesn't help. The country is massively different per location and is probably to big to govern properly. From bible belt to Disney land and everything in-between. We saw American culture this way years ago because we had very limited access to the products and lifestyle they had. When we did get the brands they were expensive and now that all things are world wide it's not so attractive anymore. You love what you can't have I guess. Underneath there are huge problems with opioid and fentanyl abuse in all big cities. That's the image of America these days, that and police brutality headlines. Wacky leadership isnt going to win any international friends as we have already seen with tariffs and so on. On the contrary the country has truly outstanding beauty and lots of good people aswell as bad. To save it? Wealth distribution is a huge factor as is free health care, those 2 alone must be the starting point for change

Are you a time traveler? They're only 50 states in our timeline Who joined?

Too not see that we can be the darkness and light is what needs to be fixed ;-)

The issues lies with the movies ;-)

Only problem I see is too many people

actually the density is super low and like the rest of the world its actually de-populating.

not enough young people, not enough people moving up economically.

As an Englishman , I've never seen the US as more of a hero . They are the only Western country doing anything against the globalists . The naivety in this thread is just so sad . What is coming soon will open all your eyes . Lefties are living in their imagination fighting phantom racists conjured up by state controlled media . Wake the hell up , Wokie

They hunt and kill rogue sasquatch too.

Maybe they just need another fake moon landing

I see him starting a bogus war with Venezuela soon.

They are all wankers wanting to keep people divided and fighting amongst themselves. Whilst they just get obscenely rich.

All of them.

Because everything was so much better under Biden -wasn’t it ?

See the problem lee5, is you're saying that because you're a Trump guzzler, not because you're consistent about all presidents being scum. This place is really starting to pong of gammon, don't youse have hotels to be standing outside of.

Go on then.
There’s the door !!!

Bye

Tommy Robo's best mate is a convicted nonce by the way, remember to donate for gak!!!

Didn't deny you guzzle Trump either, sus.

And yet, deportations still lower than both Biden, Obama, Bush and Clinton and foreign affairs the exact same. He's obviously a piece of shit, but establishment shitlibs are outraged he's unsubtle, not that he's doing exactly what other presidents have done behind closed doors or PR.

Current deportations in the US are an instrument of arousing hate and pushing the overton window on the orange cunt's powers. This is very different than any previous administration. If you can't see that go to the states and see for yourself - if you can get in.

And "this time it's different" is exactly why the clannish MAGA dismiss your views correctly as propaganda. Either all ICE are scum always (they are) or they're not, can't have it both ways. Involvement in two genocides and the slaughterhouse in Ukraine is lockstep with the Dems. Not seeing any dramatic difference to be honest.

No the flood of illegals are the reason of arousing hate. Like in own country. Let our daughters and sisters be raped and assaulted. But don’t you say anything bad online. Get to fuck.
Our country is on the brink of civil war and collapse, and here you muppets are talking about trump. Fucking wake up

Apparently, smoking weed can make some people a bit paranoid.

lol, ya'll really need to be more academic. No disrespect but the man educated over 3,000 medical professions, so if you happen to believe that such information of this quotation exists, it don't cause it ain't real.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Rush#Religious_views_and_vision

Also, this is not the first time Rush has been misquoted and characterized upon his views.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15981368

Also, here's who Rush really was http://www.szasz.com/freeman7.html piece out some qoutes and tell me this conception is consistent with him?

zig heil doc

Whoah, how could he see this in 1789?

Definitely a time traveler

what rush really was saying, read some of his actual quotes http://www.szasz.com/freeman7.html

Rush would agree that today the only health care systems completely controlled by government are those with socialist-run systems such as Canada and GB. Health care is available to everyone in the U.S. (as are other essential things like food and shelter) and the care here is among the best in the world (if not THE best). The idea that health care is something more special than, say, food or shelter is an idea born in the mind of Marxists (hard to say which) as a means to take control of the masses. Left to the market, it would be affordable and available. Stop with the juvenile conspiracy theories unless you have some facts to share in lieu of the fake quotes...

the us has the highest highest costs and lowest life expectancy among wealthy nations.

Theres also a lot of predictive programming going on.
Unless one is vigilant one can believe in stuff that does not exist YET... but...

If it involves life and death you can bet your ass that government will control it and yeah a wizzard cult that administers it like fucked up old IT department.

It's self reinforcing, ignorant people are willing to spend more on killing people than education.

Weird way to spell indoctrinating 😉
