| | African American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | However, when Reconstruction ended in 1877, southern, European American landowners reinstituted a regime of disenfranchisement and racial segregation, and with it a wave of terror and repression, including lynchings and other vigilante violence. | | | In 2004, African American workers had the second-highest median earnings of American minority groups after Asian Americans, and African Americans had the highest level of male-female income parity of all ethnic groups in the United States [4]. | | | During Reconstruction, African Americans in the South obtained the right to vote and to hold public office, as well as a number of other civil rights they previously had been denied. |

| | The New Yorker: Fact |
| | The European commentators’ dismay at the tyranny of American materialism was disingenuous, since many of them had come to the United States to repair their tattered fortunes or make new ones. | | | Americans thought of the Marshall Plan (together with the forgiveness of French debts) as an exercise in wise altruism; European leaders like de Gaulle bristled with suspicion at the patronizing weight of the program. | | | American generosity (in the French view) toward German reparation schedules fed into the conspiracy theories that seethed and bubbled in the anti-American press in the nineteen-twenties and early thirties. |

| | Michael Novak on Europe on National Review Online |
| | Although Americans have much more in common with the ordinary people of Italy, France, Germany, and so on, than with the elites of those countries, our ordinary people tend to think rather differently even from ordinary Europeans. | | | Again, Europeans really do have a passion for equality that seems odd and unnatural to Americans. | | | Americans on the left hate different things from those hated by conservatives, but both are champions at preaching to sinners. |

| | USS Clueless - European disunity |
| | The entire concept of a "European foreign policy" is a fiction created by some there which they attempted to foist on the others; there is no such thing. | | | Europe-as-ogre or rising danger to American pre-eminence - or, conversely, Europe-as-potential-returnee to an Atlanticist Garden of Eden - are convictions that appear, on the basis of a series of interviews here, to get much less palpable support. | | | Many questions which the Americans assumed would be dealt with by the Legislative and Executive branches of the United States are hard-wired in the now-failed EU constitution, and thus placed beyond the reach of Europe's citizens or their elected representatives. |

| | Here is one root of the resentment felt by European elites, who would otherwise have a free hand to mold their societies according to their own visions. | | | But Americans, as I told the audience in Warsaw, claim this same independence of national direction for themselves. | | | For one thing, Americans work harder: 72 percent of the U.S. population is at work, compared to only 58 percent in the E.U. American workers also put in more hours. |

| | As Jeremy Rifkin sees it, the American and European dreams are — at their core — about two diametrically opposed ideas of freedom and security. | | | For Europeans, freedom is not found in autonomy, but in embeddedness. | | | Europeans are more reluctant to use military force and instead favor diplomacy, economic assistance and aid to avert conflict and prefer peacekeeping operations to maintain order. |

| | Ever since the introduction of version 1.5, when coordinated teamplay became a true key to success, Europeans have had the upper hand in every LAN competition they've been at together with North Americans. | | | Approximately half of the North Americans I interviewed said that, although they consider their teammates to be friends, they have few online friends outside of their clan, and they spend just about all of their spare time hanging out with non CS-related friends. | | | Europeans, by contrast, almost universally agreed that CS provides them with a large number of their best friends, many of whom they regularly hang out with in real life. |

| | Book examines European-American relations |
| | Evangelista says that while some changes have taken place in Europe since April 2004, such as the rejection by France and the Netherlands of the proposed constitution for Europe, those developments have more to do with the European Union itself than Europe's relation to the United States. | | | The contributors address questions about the future role of the United States in NATO, whether a coherent European Union could emerge as a challenger to that alliance, and what part Russia is likely to play. | | | Although none of the authors anticipated that the momentum toward greater political unification of Europe would be slowed in that way, two authors did anticipate that European economic integration would encounter some difficulties. |
