The U.S. is #1 due our standard of living and quality of life for MOST people. But, the real reason is we are the only country to guarantee and codify NATURAL RIGHTS as human beings.

Mexico also does that.

Your subtle attempt at proclaiming melanin superiority is not lost on my newly acquired woke side.

Many Righties on here (you can find them NOW) have started threads about how great Putin and Stalinism is.

I think you are asking the wrong people....

Many liberals seem to think that before Whitey messed rhings up all people in the world were holding hands and singing by the camp fire. In reality Whites have done more than any other group to end slavery, expand women's suffrage and gay rights. People of European heritage are judged by their worst moments against everyone else's best moments.

If this country is so great we would not be having to Make America Great Again. Ain’t that right?

I think it's more Biblical - you folks down there know your good book, right?

Cast the log out of thine own eye? Judge Not? and all that stuff.......

The only real way the modern world can change is individually. Obviously, this White Guy's families were in Italy and Russia and not involved in any way, shape or form with American slavery or other crimes. But we are now multi-generational Americans and we certainly aren't going believe in the Confederacy!

You can call that what you want - I call it learning lessons from history and then applying them. The opposite is to repeat history, which we seem stuck in doing (or some do).
