Why suddenly are so many black Americans so hot to be identified as “former slaves”? If they just ignored all those statues and just went about the business of becoming doectors, lawyers, business people, military officers, entertainers... whatever... and just stopped obsessing about what everyone else forgot about ages ago (except as part of history class where it belongs), I certainly wouldn’t look at them as “former slaves”, and I believe almost nobody else would either.
But it seems they are AFRAID of losing their status as “former slaves”. Afraid of losing their long-cherished victimhood.
And BTW, something that NOBODY will ever mention publicly (although I am here):
Would they rather be living in Zambia right now? Or Zimbabwe? Or Burkina Faso? Seriously. Would they really rather their children be growing up there?
I am NOT saying slavery was a good thing, I am just asking a question. Would you rather — right now, today in 2017 — be a citizen of the United States or a citizen of Zimbabwe?
Seriously.
I mean it.
> Would you rather — right now, today in 2017 — be a citizen of the United States or a citizen of Zimbabwe?
Nobody will answer that question.
Don’t bother asking.
“We” need to get off of defense.
> I am NOT saying slavery was a good thing
Why bother stating this? They won’t listen.
All “they” are doing is being outrageous. “We” need to hit them with the same shit.

To answer your question, anybody in his right mind would choose the USA — despite its slavery history — over any other country.
Let me add that many Freepers might be willing to acquiesce in limited removal from public squares if the GOPe and conservative virtue signalers were actively opposing the war on white people, instead of picking on inarticulate protesters who are fully engaged in this effort.
