(V):   What about soccer games over there where black players are taunted by blantantly racist epithets like "Jungle Bunny", etc.  People at sports events here would not dream of being that overt with our racism.  I realize that such behavior is worse in Western Europe, but it does exists in the UK.

Granted ya'll may have progressed faster on the segregation front than we did, but overt racism is everywhere at some level whether you ban the KKK or not.  In addition, you were just as guilty of perpetrating the African slave trade as we were.  I'm not saying our racism is any better or worse than in the UK, but I am cautioning against British sanctimony on this matter.
