My issue is the quote...he named his issue as THE COUNTRY. Is there a race issue, yup, has been and always will be in every culture across the world. When I was in 8th grade I had to do a paper on Apartheid, for those who don't know what that was, look it up, if you think the US race relations are bad I say, it isn't perfect but it could be worse.
I am a woman in a scientific field. I've had professors and colleagues that discounted what I had to say based on my gender alone. However, I blame THEM for their ignorance, not THE COUNTRY. Until THE COUNTRY passes laws to specifically oppress a segment of the population I do wish people would leave THE COUNTRY out of it.
