"Go back to Africa" Does that make sense?

Does it make any sense for people use that in thier insults to discriminate black people? (There shouldn't be a reason to) I don't promote such foul tasting conversation but for the sake of discussion, anyway after anilizing that being said with ignorance of course. Does it make sense when slavery history tells us it was the Slave owners who brought them to America and the Carribean in the first place? What bounds do ignorance and unintelligence leap?

  1. a person has to be really ignorant in order to tell u that from my perspective because nowadaysthose that call themselves canadian arent really canadian by indegenous status they were just born here but somewhere down the tree no matter how many generations somebody travelled from where they were to canada and thats the reason y that person was born in canada

  2. It makes sense who wouldn't want to go home. Where there is no suffering or pain, just memories to taunt you would drive someone to want to go home even more.

  3. marcus garvey, malichi york and many others from there perspective goin back home with the knowledge we have gained and rebuild makes perfect sense and thats exactly what we should be doing as africans especially as youths need to focus in this mind state to help our people who are suffering back home

  5. The simple fact is that we as people fail to realize the simplicity of love and caring for one another. OUR Land is THEIR land. If you tell an asian person to back to Africa.. would that make any sense? Or a German to go back to Australia? British to Asia, American to India? These all are questions to be thinking about, for the simple fact of LIFE.. We are all confused to what is and what isn't and to what Phil said, these harsh words mean a whole world to many people, but to the people it means nothing..
