Why do some white people say we need to ''go back to africa when they not from here either?

Question

Did they somehow forget that their people were not originators of this land either and that they also arrived by boat? did they forget that one may assume them to be thieves for stealing the natives land. or that some may consider white people to be conceited. Did they forget that they were the ones responsible for most economic breakdowns in the past such as slavery of natives and blacks.and being so called christians using it to uphold slavery?Do you understand that this country was BUILT OFF THE BACKS OF SLAVES. european diseases first brought over by early white settlers NOT AFRICA IDIOTS. ,racism,,assasinations of presidents... did they forget that without the help of natives teaching the white settlers how to crop, they would be dead? that they were consumed in ********* and greed. how would they like it if blacks started saying things like this alot.do they not understand that none asked to be here in the first place and noone has control over where they are born so when ya'll leave we will..

Answer 1

People who say that are ignorant idiots. Ignore them.

Answer 2

I (a so-called white person) agree with most of what you say. Yes, the natives (People) taught the whites how to farm, fish, hunt, the whole nine yards.
One of the earlier Yahoo! questions why don't people consider the genocide in Armenia to be equal to the genocide of Jews in World War II. Well, there were 1 million Armenians killed; 6 million Jews; but there were 20 MILLION natives killed, mostly by white man's diseases.
I have to disagree on one thing: the diseases of Africa were far worse than that of Europe. This is why, eventually, the cruel "masters" used blacks for slaves: a purely economic reason. Blacks were considered to be worth 2 Indians, because Indians succombed to diseases much more quickly. (That points out how unsanitary whites were during the 1400's and 1500's compared to the natives.)
Supposedly, the whites were "conquerors" and not thieves. After all, before they jumped across the pond, they did the same things to others in Europe.
African tribes were too powerful; the mightiest armies of Europe could not prevail against them. That means that black slaves began as slaves of other blacks. Sorry.
I also agree whole-heartedly about what you say about the so-called "Christians", the number one cause of war and strife in the world for the past 2 millenia.
As you say, this country was build on the "backs of slaves". However, these slaves included the natives, whites from Europe [indentured servants, who could be beat, mutilated, murdered and raped with impugnity] and Chinese and others.
It is time for the full truth to be disclosed, but public schools will not tolerate the truth.
If they did, all public schools would be closed, because homeschoolers and parochial schools consistently out perform public schools.

Answer 3

First off this country was not built "mostly of the backs of slaves." Most of the slaves were in the south and working in agriculture area. i.e. farms
Secondly, I don't appreciate you calling the whole white race "Idiots" Whites have been pretty successful for being "Idiots" haven't they? Also, I am very aware of the knowledge and help that whites gained from the Native Americans as far as growing crops and other skills. Social Studies books teach that in public school.
I have never heard anyone in America blaming Africans for diseases that are here. Of course there are dreaded diseases still in Africa that have been eradicated throughout most of the civilized world. i.e. typhoid fever, malaria, etc.
Now, I am still uncertain of what to make of your rambling and raving about..."racism, assassinations of presidents." Excuse me if i am missing a key point in that drivel. Please point it out to me.
And finally, when I use to ride the bus I heard all kinds of remarks, name calling and simple, uneducated ridicule and deriding remarks from other African-American riders.
But, I think a vast majority of people who say "go back to Africa", are referring to the destruction of the inner-cities and public school system and uncared for properties etc. etc.

Answer 4

They have also forgotten two other things:

1. Most of us here have never even been to Africa, are several generations removed from Africa, and have no knowledge of or connection to Africa; and

2. When Africans originally came here during the slave trade, they did not come voluntarily. The ancestors of the people saying we should "go back" brought them here.

I took offense a few weeks ago when at work one of our customers said that our boss should go back to Poland. Partly because the thing she was mad about had nothing to do with his being Polish, and partly because I don't think he has ever been to Poland to go back there; just because his grandfather came from there and he kept his name doesn't mean he doesn't belong here like everybody else.

Answer 5

Just try to ignore people like that. They are not Christians and your right some people who called themselves christians did some horrible things to people.
One of the reasons the Europeans came to America was because the English was brutalizeing them and death was better than staying there. The Irish was literally starving to death. the indians saved them as you said and in return they were almost wiped out by small pox.
Many crueltys have been done by all races but what we need to work on is not doing it anymore.

Answer 6

too hot, you nailed it. too many white people believe that as a race we are superior to other races, just because we are most prominent in the exploration of the world. we forget the many contributions to society that others outside the white race have made. in fact it was a black doctor that found a way to be able to preserve blood plasma for future transfusions. how about the contributions of George Washington carver? Dr Martin Luther king? and yes even Reverend Jackson, and Reverend Sharpton have made positive contributions to society.

Answer 7

Hummm sounds like someone pissed you off Royaly. I think ALL racists say stupid things. The key is too let it roll off your back and show love and educate in return. Until people start doing it that way, the hate is just gonna keep on going. If you just spew off opinions (especially facts that aren't all true) your being just as ignorant as whom ever made the first comment to you.

Answer 8

They are ignorant, racist, and they are morons. I'm not saying that all white people are like that, you know what I mean. Apparently they have forgotten. They don't realize how stupid they sound when they tell others to get of "their" country, when it belonged to the Native Americans first.

Answer 9

I think a lot of that is ignorance. I am here as a result of Europeans bringing millions of Africans here during the slave trade, so they didn't come here voluntarily. Not only that but most white people are suprised that I am closer related to them than to Africans

Answer 10

Uh...because some people are really ignorant and don't have enough imagination to come up with anything more original?

Suggestion: Unless they are either actually taking away your civil/human rights in court or kicking you in the head, just ignore the stupid comments and find something more important to get upset about. Stick n' stones, baby....

Answer 11

haha i know right!!! im white and black....and on my black side, i have native american in me...so anyone who is in america, should leave! except native americans..haha okay im kidding, but you have a point, why dont they go back to europe, they werent here first either so yeah? it would be alot easier if we could all just learn to live here together, without telling another race to leave.
