Opinion | Africans Knock on America’s DoorFrom WSJopinion: You know who doesn’t buy the left’s thesis that America is a racist country, hostile and dangerous for nonwhites? The millions of Africans who apply each year for a green card, writes Dave Seminara. opinion They are wrong. 3/5th human in the Constitution, Jim Crow, Police Brutality, Housing Covenents? It’s like me as a black American saying apartheid wasn’t that bad or genocide in Rwanda wasn’t that bad. This is an idiotic take. opinion Um what does the systemic racism directed at some Americans have to do with Africa. Would you stay in Europeans for something that afflicts white Americans. See your types are clueless about “systemic racism”. Stick to writing things you have experience of. opinion The people who don’t live in America, who currently live in war torn countries.... actually want to come to America?!? Take that lefties!
