Race consciousness in America

I have been traveling outside the U.S. and even though I have been staying away from its politics, I happened to accidentally open ft.com and saw this news:

"Dr Doom’ Faber suffers backlash over racist remarks
"Financial pundit thanks God black people did not settle America in newsletter"

Suddenly the awareness that America is so full of race feeling came back. Glad where I am now, we don't refer to people as white, black, green, yellow. When you think about it - The U.S. is a sickening country obsessed with money and arrogance about the fact that poor people from all over the world keep coming to the U.S. 

THAT IS ALL they have to offer. It is not a country where you will be able to redeem your soul.

Recently I was talking to an old American outside a Starbucks store in California, and I asked him what did he think of the recent biggest mass shooting in Las Vegas, he said blah blah and then what struck me was that he said, "they are doing autopsy of the killer's brain to find out why he decided to kill so many people" in such a cold-blooded manner.

What a joke! As if science can tell why the killer did what he did. Rather than focusing on real cause of such tragedies - Arrogance, Egoistic Culture, Fascination with Guns, Widely Pervasive Loneliness and Alienation in the country, Race consciousness and racism, Worship of money etc etc...No the real cause will be found by the autopsy.
