We love this country the way it is, and they can just go back to Africa and wherever and see how by comparison... America is wonderful and their ancestors' countries are stinking pieces of sh*t to live in.

If anyone hates living in America, they should just leave. Most of us love America the way it is.
Oh I get his point very well. It is a childish rant to stir up his base except that even he took it to far by suggesting that anyone who happens to criticize our gov. or the way it is being run should leave. Welcome to the 60's

No. It's the "squad" that doesn't truly appreciate what all those white guys did for them back when America was born. Colin Kaepernick certainly doesn't appreciate the sacrifices those white guys did when they revolted against the British.

And blacks should at least acknowledge that had their ancestors not been brought over to America as slaves, the vast majority of them wouldn't be here in America TODAY. They would all be still living in Africa in Third World countries and trying to migrate up to the European countries in flimsy boats and rafts for a better life. Instead, blacks just focus on the negative aspects of slavery and talk about reparations.

On the other hand, those in India don't complain about the former British colonization of their country. It is in the past, and they also know and appreciate the positives that the British brought with them... the Brits are the ones who built their railway system and introduced modern science and building techniques to their country. And Indians were smart and took their academic studies seriously, many going to England for their studies, so Indian then didn't need the Brits or other white people as engineers or doctors. And that is an important lesson that the Africans have only somewhat learned in the African countries that were former European colonies.

And Hong Kong wouldn't be so amazing without the Brits and their Anglo-Saxon ways.

And you forget how historically, any immigrant to America also made the effort to assimilate and be part of American society, not loudly and publicly complaining about the status quo. You also forget that in past waves of immigration, none of those groups got the handouts and free healthcare from our government that the current legal and illegal immigrants do.
