Mississippi second-grade teacher fired for saying black people should “move back to Africa”

According to this article from the New York Post, a Mississippi second-grade teacher was recently fired for posting the following on her Facebook page:

“If blacks in this country are so offended, no one is forcing them to stay here. Why don’t they pack up and move back to Africa where they will have to work for a living. I am sure our government will pay for it! We pay for everything else.”

Wow. Her statement is highly rude and offensive, and is totally inappropriate for someone who teaches children. I agree with the school’s decision to fire her.

Here’s what I say to people about this subject, in a way which is respectful, and which is appropriate for people of all ages:

“People of all races, religions, and ethnicities choose to immigrate to the U.S., because they know that the U.S. will treat them far better than the countries from which they are leaving.”

The teacher’s wording was beyond disgusting. However, her basic point regarding immigration is a legitimate topic of discussion. But she should have worded it like the way I did.

I will conclude with this: the liberals who always complain about how racist the U.S. supposedly is, but who simultaneously insist that the U.S. allow members of racial minorities from other countries to immigrate to the U.S., are being complete hypocrites. If these liberals truly, genuinely believe that the U.S. is so horrible for racial minorities, then these liberals would be encouraging racial minorities to move out of the U.S., instead of insisting that they be allowed to move here.

If she had said all white people should ritually disembowel themselves, she’d be a superintendent by now.

White liberals need to move to Africa. Better yet, the South Pole. Africa has enough problems.

Irish descendants do not appear to be trying to tear the country apart. Your comment is meaningless.

You may think that, or even share that feeling among your friends. Would you put it on a sign on your front lawn?

Or would you say it at church?

My point is that social media is the town square.

Sorry, but I find that to be a banal statement that solves absolutely nothing. The only message it sends out is that you’re too afraid to say what you really think.

The problem with THEM moving back, the Africans don’t want them. As a matter of fact they hate Americans of African descent. When Africans move to America, they assimilate and prosper, because it isn’t racism that holds them back, it is the “ghetto of the mind”. That in turn goes over with Am-Af peeps like tin foil in their meal. Their “brothers” don’t know what it is to be black..lol

How many more decades of this miserable discord do we need to go through before people finally realize that blacks and whites cannot peacefully coexist together?

Lincoln realized that before he started the Civil War, and he has been proven right. Many blacks also have had enough of this incompatible marriage and would like to go their own way.

Why continue punishing each other? - Let’s accept the reality that this isn’t working and work out a separation agreement.

I don’t see why her profession was an issue on a proposition that many hold to be true. So much for the 1st Amendment. Sue the school system.

"The only message it sends out is that you’re too afraid to say what you really think."

Grundle (aka "The Gooch") is used to equivocating on what he truly believes.

That's because his actual positions on Abortion, Health Care, Recreational
Drug Use and Faggot Marriage would have gotten him Zotted long ago had
he made hem well known here on FR.

See post #28 above for a link to documentation.
In his own words...

By the way - he's proud to have voted for Gary Johnson.
You know... Gary "What's Aleppo?" Johnson.

“If blacks in this country are so offended, no one is forcing them to stay here. Why don’t they pack up and move back to Africa where they will have to work for a living.”

If anyone in this country is so offended by this country’s past, that they have to riot, burn and tear down statues, no one is forcing them to stay here. Why don’t they pack and move back to the country they or their ancestors came from where they will have to work twice as hard for a sub standard living. The decent people of this country would be more than willing to help their departure.

See nothing wrong with it.

These blacks (or any other tint) that protest, burn and loot their way through life need to be either shot or exported.

Start a homeschool classroom and with the free publicity, this teacher will have plenty of business.

The two quotes are not the same. The 2nd grade teacher is calling for people who don’t like the way things are here to go home. The other person is talking about the death of police with glee and joy and hopefulness. Not the same.

Black Americans can’t go back because they’ve never been

Ever heard of Liberia?

I know that many feel they have a connection to the continent but doubt very many would like to trade places.

Then they should shut up. The US is one of the least racist places on Earth. (except for them of course)
