chestnut_daniel My American Latina daughter once told me that there are two Americas -- one for the white elite and one for everybody else. I used to think that was wrong but now I strongly believe my daughter.
Federal lands are unwelcoming to African Americans, especially the descendants of enslaved people, when they persist in displaying white supremacy propaganda. All Confederate monuments must be removed from public spaces. BlackLivesMatter

What country does then? One of the ones in Africa where genital mutilation, ethnic cleansing, starvation, modern day slavery, and a complete lack of excellence in every conceivable metric pervade every part of daily life? If you want to go I will start a go fund me to let you.

I think my recommendation to a lot of these people would be to try living abroad for some significant length of time. My guess is they would become more aware of their own American identity and broaden their view of difference at the same time.
So, black people dont assimilate? And thus, deprive themselves of The American Dream?
Well that one women is probably to caught up in your mono tone bullshit y’all spread.
Sounds like a personal problem grow up be productive
Wearing black tomorrow. BLM Nothing to celebrate as far as I can see.
Holding a country accountable is of really questionable help. Each of us holding ourselves accountable to bring about the country we want, the country of our ideals, is helpful - and powerful.

Those black Americans were most certainly educated in our anti-American public school system. That’s what needs to be torn down.
The main problem in America is no longer a race it's ideology. Minorities are integrated throughout our system of government and throughout the private sector. Now there's a battle between conservatism and fascism. The Democratic party is no longer a party of Liberty
Find a victim...a new NPR program
Americans no longer hold the same values. Perhaps it's time for a racial divorce. Partition the U.S. along racial lines. Allow African-Americans to build the Wakanda they dream of!

Then move to Africa. I’m sure you won’t have these feelings there.
I'm amazed that EVERY time I turn on NPR, I hear race-baiting propaganda.

This woman has severe Mental Issues she should seek help hopefully they can help her with being a Bigot also.
Depends on who you are talking to, I reckon. I have the same feeling too depending on the speaker.
You know why people feel this way? The evil, race baiting, fear monger I propaganda machine we call the “media” They want you to be afraid, they want you to be spiteful, all to further their radical leftist agenda
America is a multiracial country that is more free and more wealthy than any country in the history of the world. Where and when has it been better? Minorities do better here than in countries where they are majorities. So many would love to have the opportunities here.
one young liberal woman. now talk to one young conservative woman.
The polls must be fake. My hundreds of black friends and I never admit to supporting Trump when asked or polled, however, the majority of us intend to vote to re-elect him in November. I guess we are now part of the silent majority. WalkAway
To speak in metaphores, Jim crow, go to a gas station there was one coffee pot for 'whites' and one 'blacks'. That got taken away, so the white liberals that want it have been doing their best to get 'black people' to make their coffee at home. Under the pretense of helping.
My wish for this July 4 is for all Americans to realize that modern freedom means a wide spectrum of diversity. To embrace this diversity, have faith in God and faith that your fellow Americans also want to enjoy the good things in life.

You are free to leave. Which is a freedom you obviously have taken for granted.
