Americans of black African descent have more than earned their citizenship. I think we'd all be better off if other Americans would simply recognize that fact. Separate is not equal.
They have their own country. It is called "Liberia". It was created after the Civil War for blacks who wanted to return to Africa, but did not have any family or ties to the continent and did not want to remain in America.
It's not like many black families here ever asked to come here.
The vast majority of AAs in the US are here as a direct result of the institution of slavery. Don't you think it's ironic that white people went and "got" them and now some are wanting to "send them back?"
Can't have your cake and eat it too. Another pithy quote that works is "You made your bed, now sleep in it." And "The sins of the fathers are visited upon the children." Oh and "Everybody's chickens come home to roost." I could go on, but you get my drift.
My gosh, much of this country's wealth was built on the backs of slave labor and the slave trade itself, and then as a result of the Great Migration to the North's factories during WW1 and WW2. And don't even get me started on the richness of cultural influences from the AA community.
I don't think the racial problems in our country are the result of the color of anyone's skin. I think the problems are the direct result of racism and prejudice, and the very understandable after effect of 300 years of slavery. I also think that both black and white people are guilty of racism and that racist attitudes do absolutely NOTHING to help anyone.

Do you think black people in America would be better off if they had their own country where they could make their own laws and not be oppressed by whites?
They've had them for decades.
Detroit, Newark, Southside Chicago, Camden, Gary, Baltimore and a few more.
There are many people who feel this way but choose to hide it in real life. Go to Reddit and you will see how people really feel about blacks. Go to dating sites as well like Tinder and OkCupid to see that blacks are not in high demand. The average american suppresses their true feelings to avoid public shaming so the internet offers a way to say things you can't in public.
The reason why people hide how they really feel about blacks in real life is because any criticism of them no matter how well intentioned and communicated in the most nicest, most diplomatic way possible would STILL draw cries of racism. There's almost nothing negative you can say about blacks that likely won't get you in trouble and that's why the internet is one of the few remaining places where you can say what you really feel with relatively freedom.
And that to me is sad and is why blacks can't seem to ever get their crap together, because anything negative you say about them will only cause anger and defensiveness and a call for blood for ever suggesting black people are messed up in any way shape or form. Isn't it interesting that in most aspects of life you WELCOME criticism and advice so that you can improve and get better at something? For example if you're a pro athlete would you be offended if someone told you certain aspects of your game needed to be improved significantly if you wanted become a great player? Would you be angry and tell your coach to screw himself or would you take their advice and improve what they told you to improve? I think most athletes would try and do the latter because they want to succeed.
But when it comes to black crime and poverty? All that goes completely out the window. Try and tell blacks what they need to do to lower crime and get themselves out of poverty and become more peaceful and they get loud and angry at you. Leave them to their own devices and most never improve. So what's the result? Blacks stay the way they are, namely many being violent and ghetto and many non-blacks get angry and frustrated at blacks that they never change and they also become wary of them.
The bottom line is that its PRECISELY the suppression of open discussion of these issues that drives people to the net to express themselves. If you want to discuss how blacks are victims are disadvantaged and are discriminated against, that's perfectly fine. But if you want to talk about how blacks are violent and dangerous and how this can be solved, you will get attacked every single time for bringing that up in real life. If there could only be an honest discussion without people immediately being labeled racist, then maybe those discussions might actually achieve something.
