Fairly telling that "Go Back to Africa" is your immediate kneejerk when someone criticises the fact the US started as a tax dodge scheme by white slaveholders. It's not like George and Martha Washington climbed the bridge of heaven and formed the US from the waters that drip from Washington's spear when he dips it in the sea or something.
Hint: If you don't like that being the case maybe you should work harder to distance modern America from its disgraceful past and make it something worth celebrating.

All humans do these things, Europeans were just the best as it..
You think if African or "Native American" people were given the power they wouldn't have done the same?
Oh, for my part I've already got my passports renewed and ready to go if 2024 looks like America's gonna go full fash. But that's a luxury I happen to have and is not available to most.
As for other people, that's largely explicable as a function if it being expensive to leave or, you know... The belief that society is perfectible even if it is not currently so. I.e. they want to make it a place worth celebrating.
Which does not make them okay, so I'm curious why you've brought this nonsense up besides as a silly attempt at Whataboutism.You understand that many slaves we sold to Europeans by fellow Africans?

Man you are *really* desperate to try and interpret opposing exploitation and oppression as synonymous with hating Europeans just because they're Europeans, huh? Rofl. If they had done the same, they'd be subject to the same criticism. But they didn't.You think if African or "Native American" people were given the power they wouldn't have done the same?
Instead we get the pleasure of being told off for "disrespecting the flag" by not standing during the anthem by people whose sweaty balls are being cupped by underwear printed with that exact flag.
