Please let me get you a lawyer. My comment about customs was in regard to freed slaves not immigrating to Africa. Notice how I didn't write "back to" as if they were on some extended vacation. Because in 1865, all those slaves were American. And which country would a freed slave return to? I know that's a hard question for people that think Africa is a monolith. And more importantly, they chose not too. Choice, what a novelty.

And now in 2018 (just helping you keep track now) in a globally connected world, it's much easier to move to and live in other countries, choosing to partake in customs and culture. I know, I've done it.

Better to stay here than go back to African and live in a tent tribe where they can barely feed themselves.
This is such a dumb comment. The slaves came from over 45 different ethnicities and languages and ethnic affiliations were literally beaten out of them during slavery. Just like you cannot just go to France or Spain and claim you are one of them, similar African-Americans could not do the same after slavery...

LOL @ live in a tent tribe. Do you even have a passport?

Immigrants from Africa are the most educated demographic in America. It's a fact. Look it up. Trump is an ignorant fool.

Can we all agree -- when you are intelligent -- a genius - above the rest -- you don't use '****hole' in a professional setting....you just don't.
