Race in other countries

Before this week i never really thought about racila tension in other countries. I have always believed that the US is begind the rest of the world when it comes to accepting other races and this is true in many ways. Europe had ended slavery and had civil rights before the US and many countires still criticize the US for not being progessive enough with race. But obviuosly other countries are far far behind America. I feel that the US and other nations should assist countires such as South Africa and Brazil more in regards to Civil Rights. America and Europe have experience in Civil Rights legislation and i feel it would help these countires to gain influence form them.
