Boutros Boutros Ghali

Ever since the Egyptian Christian Arab Ghali was appointed head of the UN in the 90s, many in the USA have been skeptical of anyone in power anywhere who isn't Anglo-Saxon, or at least Nordic or appear to be either one.

We have no patience nor tolerance of any other heritage either as a leader or even a holder of power.
A Jew or Asian has yet to make it to the top here in our leadership. They are trusted as second bananas.

Now we have a leader who is a racial mixture and it is beyond the understanding of far too many citizens. Every move made or seems to be in the works is criticized even before any results are apparent.

We deny that much of our government is socialistic right now, just as are most of the rest of the world is, and we fear that we are headed for even more socialism than anyone else.
Ghali by most definitions was a socialist as are most in the UN. We despise that.

Fortunately capitalism is so ingrained in the USA that total socialism will never root out what has made us what we are.

Too bad that some don't appreciate that fact.

A beautifully expressed concept that's may be difficult to accept. Can anyone point out a situation that contradicts this?

A pregnant silence. Interesting answer. I honestly feel we are making progress as humans in 'looking at the content of character rather than the color of skin' - but we're still on the journey. ( Welcome back!)

Are you saying that those that didn't vote for him are racist?

BTW, welcome back.
