I mean the plan was always to annihilate people of color like my wife and I. This country has treated our people like shit for centuries and the rest of the world wants us to stay and fight to fix our country. I say fuck that. That's like saying the German Jews should have stayed to fix Germany and should have started committing acts of violence to fix their country. That was never going to work last century what the fuck makes anyone think it would this century. No the fact is racist whites enabled and did this, we aren't at fault and we are not responsible to fix it for them. We are going to be part of the brain drain of this country. Leave the whites to sort out their own fucking mess for once.
They'll beat the drums of nationalism, and try to guilt you. If you flee now, the hundreds of years of oppression will have been in vain. You dare turn your back on the failed revolutions of MLK? Malcolm X? Coward, they'll say. But I say fuck that noise. You owe them nothing. Get out, before it gets worse. You owe it to you and yours to try and find happiness, if you can.
Edit: This is my 666th comment. I meant to drop it in a christian thread, but I thought I had at least one more. Oh well.
