  1. Go back to your own country? How many European Americans are packing up and moving back to the Caucasus mountains on Russia's border?

    African countries like Ghana have implemented the 'beyond the return initiative' encouraging African Americans and Caribbeans to return home.

    America has bombed 14 Muslim countries since WWII. New Zealand's last mass shooting 3 years ago was a racist Australian shooting Muslims.

    I am 24th generation Aotearoa New Zealand Māori living in my own country. Kia kaha tangata whenua! Power to indigenous people!

  2. If we can't teach much black history in our schools, we must try to leave as many public landmarks as possible. Black history in books is great, but landmarks representing what's in those books are even better. Historical Preservation is desperately needed.
