Although I didn't read the entire thread, I did read about half a dozen posts related to this... and none of them..., even the one that mentioned specific countries, suggested they move 'back'... implying that they aren't from here or that they are not Americans... which if course from our perspective is an insult... but from others it may not be...

I think the point being made (which lad noted) is that it is suggested that people who don't like the way things are here have many other options... but for black people, especially those seeking reparations for their ancestors being forcibly taken from Africa... most of them would not be happy with any choices there.

I see your point and you are correct that people complaining about America have options. But why is it that when white people complain about issues in America NOBODY seems to bring up the possibility that those people consider moving to some random European country. OTOH there it is not uncommon when black people make similar complaints about issues (even when there is no talk of reparations) for some to suggest that they consider moving to some random African country?
