My concern with “Why don’t you move to Somalia, then?” isn’t with Somalia so much as… Why should I? Why shouldn’t I stay right here where I am and try to make HERE better? Why all this, “love it or leave it” stuff? How do we look at blacks in the 60s who demanded they be treated better?

Do we look back on them and say, “No, you silly negros, if you don’t love it here, why don’t you go back to Africa?” Of course not. We applaud them as heroes and visionaries and call them courageous and noble. But we’re the bad guys. We aren’t demanding that you provide for our children’s college education. We’re not demanding that you hire us for jobs before others because of the color of our skin. We’re not demanding that your tax dollars be spent on us… we just want to live in peace. And for that, we get, “Why don’t you just get out!?” Yup. That’s an awesome attitude.
