RE: Black Americans in Africa: Why we left America to live in Africa
They are not Americans, Americans are White. They are citizens of the United States, they were granted citizenship in 1863, but they are not us. They are not ethnic Americans. They are ethnically west African, so they call themselves "African Americans", but they are not Americans.
Amerigo Vespucci was a White man. The Founding Fathers who created this country and named it after him were White men. This country was established by and for "free white men of good character" and it was built by White men. Not everybody can come here and call themselves "American", you have to be White/European. Only Europeans come without ideas of changing it and making it more like where they came from and constantly fighting other Europeans over old tribal differences and grievances. Only Europeans can come here and be brothers to each other and to us. Thats why only Europeans can be Americans if they want to.
The people in this article are not Americans and never have been. They know it, thats why they always hated America and want to go back to "Mommy Africa". No American calls Europe, "Mother Europe", even if it really is, because we are Americans and we know we belong in America. America is our home.
