What are the odds on an Australian woman being shot and killed by a Samoan Barney Fife in Minnesota ?

And when asked what happened, Barney took the 5th !

At some Saint in Florida (Petersberg? Augustine?) a mayoral candidate told some Blacks in the audience that wanted reparations to Go Back to Africa.

“Mr. Nevel, you and your people, you talk about reparations. The reparations that you talk about, Mr. Nevel, your people already got your reparations. Your reparations came in the form of a man named Barack Obama. My advice to you, if you don’t like it here in America, planes leave every hour from Tampa airport. Go back to Africa. Go back to Africa. Go back!”

Pretty sick statement speaking to US citizens from families here for centuries.
I disagree with lots of conservatives but I never suggest they should go back to their old ancestral roots country.
I love my country, that's why some things in this country I don't like, I fight to change
The above sentence also applies to conservatives
Guy sounds pretty racist.
Conservatives can fight to change what they don't like in this country but Blacks have to leave rather then fight for what they believe is wrong in this country?

Good for him, I'd give him my vote. The whole reparations thing is a shakedown and people asking for it just want to refuse to work.

Sadly, some people agree they deserve something.

What's next? Have to pay Chinese Americans for unpaid OT by chinamen on the transcontinental RR?

I don't agree with reparations either
but
They shouldn't have to go back to Africa simply because conservatives don't like the issue
If I disagree with AZ
I don't insist AZ should have to leave the country

As usual, you miss the point of what is being said. He is telling them that they do not deserve reparations. They were not slaves after all. So he is saying if they hate it here so much then they should leave, maybe they will like it better in Africa.

It is not about disagreeing on the issue, it is his way of saying "Siddown and shaddup!"

This is an indication of an alpha-male.

I agree regarding reparations.
He could have stopped there
Do you think me telling you, AZ, to get out of the USA, is being Alpha male
Hmm
I think I will play alpha male
Hey AZ, get out of the USA, you don't belong in this country because I disagree with you
Just joking
LOL
