I think the problem with this thread, and most of the political threads on this site, is that people are trying to make sense of the worlds problems geographically. Amrica is not the problem, Europe is not the problem, Africa, So. America, Asia, are no the problem.
We are living in a global environment, where the wealthy Americans and the wealthy Africans have more in common with each other than there poorer countrymen.
The people who most benefit from the current economic power structure also benefit from the extreme nationalism because it allows blame for the unfairness and inequality to be targeted elsewhere.
New Orleans is an example of that unfairness and inequality, but to think that it could only happen in America and not in your own country is naive.
We should all be on the same side fighting the real enemy instead of fighting each other over where we were born.
Thats what I think anyway.
