Oh, you mean our ancestors. You’re over-generalizing. Many black people did not voluntarily come to the US, but many have, both since collonial times through today. Things got worse in the US for blacks throughout the 1700’s and after, but by no means is every black person in the US descended from involuntary (enslaved) immigrants. Voluntary immigration of black people has continued since emancipation through today in healthy numbers. Most of us did not choose to be born here.
Black people were forcibly brought over as slaves, remember? We didn’t steal the land; we were stolen ourselves and forcibly brought here. And we can’t exactly “go back” to where we came from because we don’t know where exactly “back” IS.
Keeping in mind these are students happily living in the USA, they should’ve been charged with 1st degree Irony
They’re Black, and Black folks didn’t exactly have much choice in the matter of coming to America.
Do you think most people living in America made a choice to come there?
Neither did I.

Ok… I admit America is racist… No body has a choice??

Oh, you poor thing.
Solid display of empathy and understanding there.
