    Nobody is talking about the United States. This whole thread is about your quote from the Chinese government.

    I didn’t compare anything to anything, I asked a question and have not gotten an answer. I have already explained how one possible answer of that question would be racist.

      I wrote:

      China said, “we have been here for 5,000 years, most of that time without the US, and we expect to be here for 5,000 more.” That’s some Teddy Roosevelt shit right there.

      “without the US,” not “without Americans”

      This was your comparison:

      So China has existed for 5000 years but America has only existed since white peoples decided to start a government? Or are you cool with Native Americans claiming 50,000 years?
