No, you didn't. If you're talking about slaves, they just did what they were told to do. And 'America' goes way beyond what slaves worked on anyway.

And don't give me your Trump clip. Pandering politicians aren't the last word on anything.

ETA: I'd never say black people did nothing, but this 'we built America' line is bullshite.
lol ok bud.. youre the type to say that immigrants built america, in reality you fled to a country that was already built by blacks and a few anglos.

I strongly encourage more black Americans to follow suit in order to escape racism

I fully support this

If I were Black I'd have moved back to Africa ages ago, literally zero reasons to stay here and put up with the institutionalized racism here in America

I’m tired of it too: wish I could move back to Switzerland. Lowest crime rate in world; virtually no murder; clean cities; everybody is issued a special state weapon; wonder what the common denominator is.

Maybe out of the loop, but likely not over my head.

Expat life is a trendy thing

The trend in the total number of US expats shows a significant increase, with an estimated 9.5 million US citizens currently living abroad. This represents a growing American expat community worldwide, indicating a rising trend in the number of US citizens choosing to live outside their home country. The increase in the number of US citizens renouncing their citizenship is very small but griwing, with 5,315 individuals doing so in 2023, up from 2,390 in 2022.

I second this only after the European exodus of the new world and anticipate their safe travels back to hell.

es’ka Washington lives in a six-bedroom house on a hill with avocado trees and a spectacular view, not far from the rabbit farm she runs. For less than $50,000, Shoshana Kirya-Ziraba and her husband built a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house on family farmland with goats, turkeys and about a thousand chickens. Mark and Marlene Bradley now call themselves islanders and the owners of three homes cooled by ocean breezes.

All of them are Black Americans who found their new homes in Africa. They are enjoying the substantially lower cost of living and, more important, they said, the absence of the racism and discrimination they experienced in the United States.

Good for them. Seriously.

You ever heard of a sharecropper? I’ll go out in a limb and say there were as many/more sharecroppers than African slaves. The practice continued after the Civil War.

Oh yeah, before I forget… you ever heard of these folks:
- Marie Therese Metoyer
- Antoine Dubuclet
- Aspasia Cruvellier Mirault
…among many others. Let’s get your thoughts on them?

I once met a black street musician in NYC who was in his 70s. He had never been outside of Manhattan or Brooklyn in his entire life. It blew me away that a person in his 70s in 2002 had never traveled more than 10 miles from his birthplace.

Ignorance is bliss though.

That is very different than the claims of black people did everything and white people stole everything and every idea from them.

He said everyone helped, but you played a bigger role than given credit for. That seems like a fair assessment. But very diff than what’s echoed by the left and by you in this thread.

You still are going to vote democrat.
