"Civil rights did not make white people that are infected with whiteness stop being racist. They still raised racist children that run this country to this day."

"You come from a land that flows with milk and honey. They pulled you out of that land ancestrally and brought you to a place to where your royalty was not recognized. Used your black power, your black mysticism, your African spirituality, and your physiological superiority to build this country and give everybody reparations except you."

Reid went further, casting Africa as a promised land from which Black Americans were historically removed. “You come from a land that flows with milk and honey,” he said.

“They pulled you out of that land ancestrally and brought you to a place to where your royalty was not recognized,” he continued. “Used your black power, your black mysticism, your African spirituality, and your physiological superiority to build this country and give everybody reparations except you.”

The rhetoric fits a long tradition of black nationalist calls for separation or emigration, from the founding of Liberia to Marcus Garvey’s Black Star Line. For more than two centuries, various movements have argued that Black Americans should seek a future outside the United States.

But the timing of Reid’s comments has made them especially controversial. He was not speaking in the abstract, but in response to the sentencing of a young man convicted of murdering another teenager at a school sporting event.

Black people in Africa don't want the ones from the U.S. No doubt about that at all.

It’s hard for me to think these people are this stupid. I hope it’s simply statements to illicit outrage

Some that have done it absolutely hated it.

They found out that a bad day for a black person in America is better than a good day for a black person in Africa.

Is there a way we can help this effort by proud blacks?

Reid’s comments offered a clear example of that inversion, according to his critics. Instead of focusing on Metcalf’s killing, he used the verdict to argue that Black Americans should leave a country he described as fundamentally hostile.

Reid’s audience may view his remarks as a provocative expression of frustration with America’s history, but opponents say the speech treated a murder sentence as a launching pad for resentment against Americans.

That, precisely, is what makes the reaction so explosive. A teenager is dead, another young man is going to prison for decades, and yet much of the public debate has once again shifted toward identity, grievance, and ethnocultural blame.


The case also exposes the growing divide between ordinary Americans who want safety and accountability and commentators who interpret nearly every institution through some kind of ethnocultural conflict. In such a climate, even a murder conviction can become proof of oppression to those determined to see it that way.

Most regular Africans wouldn't want them. Those 2 groups don't tend to get along well.

This current crop of American black folks would be loathed in Africa.

For those who wish to go, I’d say this could truly be considered one of those always elusive win-win situations for everyone.

Sounds like a plan Larry. How soon can you folks get started?

just another reminder that the case that has them all worked up was a case in which a black guy killed a white guy....not the other way around.

Don't discourage them...they could create their own enclave.
