I don't see that at all. I look back with fondness and nostalgia for the Rodney King riots. Everyone is pacified now by consumerism and banal media. Even young blacks are mesmerized by the silly superhero movies. The world is becoming globalized and corporatized. One world government is around the corner. Big Brother has squelched the opposition.

… in your country racism is very common
What's common is calling people racists when other legitimate reasons exist, like maybe hating Jews or even our country.

That's not true at all. Statistically the US is one of the least racist countries in the world.

I don’t love anything NRA ,that has paid off government for years to allow mental cases to be able to buy semi automatic rifles and insane amounts of ammo.I promise you that the founding fathers of the U.S. that signed the constitution did not picture this and would be turning in there graves.Im Canadian and although that there is some racism up here ,hate crimes are pretty minimal,mass shootings are almost non existent,Canada is a much happier place then the states overall for sure.

Mental illnesses in the states seem to running rampant and with there ****ty health care goes highly ignored ,people are isolating themselves on the internet and social media more than ever ,forgetting how to socialize in public ,suicide rates are up ,the president promotes a hateful attitude.Other first world countries have problems for sure ,but the US seems to have the most. My advice to everyone,get off the computer,phones ,or whatever and go outside,clear your head and go for a walk.

Good advice, Mechanic.
Someone posted this article from The Guardian on one of the other boards, it makes some of the same points you're making:
