The Question Black Americans Need To Ask Themselves

So this is going to be a difficult but necessary topic to address. You could even call this part of the "discussion" that blacks say they want on race. I know the topic by its very nature will come off as racist but it actually comes out of curiosity. Hoping for a good discussion on this and would really like to hear back from some of the black posters on this site.

The question itself is simple. If you live in America and you're black, why do you stay? Why not leave America and go to another country?

Again I'm genuinely curious. This is not out of some racist feeling of "just leave America black people so us whites can finally have the country to ourselves". If you feel like America has wronged you and your ancestors so badly why stay? Why stay in the country where you feel like you and your children, and their children, and their children, will be second class citizens? Why stay in a country that enslaved your ancestors and, in your mind, continues to essentially enslave you?

Why not move to a country in Europe? What about Canada? Australia? New Zealand? Or what about going back to Africa to the land of your ancestors? Heck if you were able to get enough educated black Americans to commit to going to a specific African country they might be able to make the country decent. So you would live in a decent country where you would never be a second class citizen.

Look at the history of whites. Despite what many black Americans want to believe many whites came to America in complete poverty. Many with only the shirts on their back. Why did they come here? Because they made the hard decision that they could never achieve the life they wanted to in their own country and America gave them the opportunity to have a better life. Note, American didn't guarantee them anything, but it did guarantee them a chance. If black Americans don't believe that chance exists here for them why stay?

Those white people made a hard decision to move to another country with no guarantee. Black Americans need to understand there would be no guarantee but you would at least have the chance, the opportunity. A chance at a new life.

I ask this because I can't imagine staying in a country that I hated and I thought hated me. Being 100% honest, if I truly though America was against me, that it was a horrible country where I could never succeed or be treated as an equal, I would've started my exit strategy years ago. But one thing is for certain, I would not stay.

So I ask, why stay? I know I wouldn't, so why do you stay? Why do you continue to live in a country that you think is against you? Sure it wouldn't be easy, it's not supposed to be easy. It wasn't easy for whites coming from Europe on boats when they arrived at Ellis Island. But would't it be worth it?
