Maybe his ass should go back to Europe.
He's talking about the Obamaphone you're using to contact people right now.

Didnt Congress pass a bill last year that accidentally opens up the US for the potential to be sued for reparations?
Name a republican that doesn't look like an evil piece of shit.
I believe that the racists in the States are truly salty that they can get rid of African Americans so easily right? they can get rid of Muslims with travel bans and build a wall and deport Mexicans and latinos. But the black community is truly american , and no matter what they do or what they say, you can't tell them to "go back" anywhere , they are Americans you racist piece of shit.
Watching these frequent showings of open racism truly makes me think that the American society is slowing reaching a boiling point.

"He added: My advice to you, if you dont like it here in America, planes leave every hour from Tampa airport. Go back to Africa. Go back to Africa. Go back!
I mean, I just did a quick search but Tampa doesn't appear to have hourly flights to Africa.
This guy is stupid!

That's just Trump paying lip service. It doesn't take much to hold a flag if you think dumbasses will support you for it.

I'm just going back to Europe. Oh wait, I didn't come from there.
You hear that, Obama is our reparations!
It's a shame he was obstructed for 8 years by bitter, resentful old whites dudes like this guy, who made it impossible for Obama to do anything that would even remotely help Americans, let alone black Americans.
Fuck this guy. But I'm not surprised. I also think I may be the only person who instantly thought it was St. Petersburg, Florida. When I think of "Go back to Africa," I immediately imagine an angry butthurt American saying it. Russian didn't even pop into my mind.

That's a relief, sounds like he will stay a fringe candidate.
So he is an all around peace of shit

I'm on the fence about reparations.
I mean as a white male I don't know if I really have any say in it but they have sometimes felt a bit like a hollow gesture or pursuit to avoid addressing the larger issues still at hand in this country.
That's not to say that African-Americans aren't owed reparations, cause I think we can all agree that they are, but I speculate that it would be far more beneficial, and go a longer way towards healing any racial divide, if we did something to address the systemic and ingrained racism on an institutional level.
Then put some serious $$ into lifting the poorer black communities (and why not the poorer of us all while we're at it because the 1% don't care as much about race as they do keeping the poor, poor) out of their stagnation by investing in education, job training, and more.
Anyway maybe I don't know shit.
OT This guy is a mega piece of shit. I shouldn't continue to be surprised in this "new" Trump's America but jesus I am. To spew that kind of garbage out loud should see you vilified and never allowed anywhere near a mic again and I'm not opposed to neutering ones like this. You have to put the bad ones down lol

This is what a lot of individuals believe constitutes reparations.
It's difficult to imagine purely monetary reparations, so we can instead establish serious affirmative action and community intervention programs as a long term plan of alleviating decades of structural racism, with a focus on black communities.
So I don't think you're really "on the fence" about reparations.
The Florida version , Tampa area is really progressive.

Well shit then....I only remember the details of some of the plans put forth in the 90's which were straight checks which just seemed ludicrous to me not to mention in poor taste.
If this is what constitutes reparations now then there's no fucking reason for anyone to be on the fence unless they're a crotchety old racist running for mayor in some podunk Fla town or the president of the united states
St. Pete is ultra progressive. Love the city, and everything its residents have done to support local business and human rights.
You know, even putting the racism aside, "if you don't like it, get out" is the least ambitious policy ever. I want that to be my campaign promise if I ever become a politician. No one can complain if I sleep on the job, because I didn't actually promise to do anything.
I do believe that he's a lifelong Democrat, though, in that it seems like he was a teenager in 1828.
