Mississippi second-grade teacher fired for saying black people should “move back to Africa”

According to this article from the New York Post, a Mississippi second-grade teacher was recently fired for posting the following on her Facebook page:

“If blacks in this country are so offended, no one is forcing them to stay here. Why don’t they pack up and move back to Africa where they will have to work for a living. I am sure our government will pay for it! We pay for everything else.”

Wow. Her statement is highly rude and offensive, and is totally inappropriate for someone who teaches children. I agree with the school’s decision to fire her.

Here’s what I say to people about this subject, in a way which is respectful, and which is appropriate for people of all ages:

“People of all races, religions, and ethnicities choose to immigrate to the U.S., because they know that the U.S. will treat them far better than the countries from which they are leaving.”

The teacher’s wording was beyond disgusting. However, her basic point regarding immigration is a legitimate topic of discussion. But she should have worded it like the way I did.

I will conclude with this: the liberals who always complain about how racist the U.S. supposedly is, but who simultaneously insist that the U.S. allow members of racial minorities from other countries to immigrate to the U.S., are being complete hypocrites. If these liberals truly, genuinely believe that the U.S. is so horrible for racial minorities, then these liberals would be encouraging racial minorities to move out of the U.S., instead of insisting that they be allowed to move here.

I do not find it the slightest bit rude. Many have thought this for decades, with even more trending that way in the aftermath of Obunga’s regime.

I see nothing wrong with what she said since I’ve said similar things many times before. Then again, I try to be as politically incorrect as possible just to piss off libtards.

Black people want to go back to Africa but the Confederates won't let them so they decided to wreck the statue of Robert E Lee.

(Ain't historical revisionism fun?)

Black privilege; black supremacy.

As others here have pointed out, Voltaire (I think) is quoted as sayint “To know who rules over you, identify whom you cannot critize”.

And Blacks are far from the only ones.

A surprising number are less than 50% African. Maybe they should go back to Germany or Ireland?

Cant cheer for that bizarre teacher to get fired for cracking about teaching “ future dead cops” in a tweet, but then decry this.

We are either going to have to be all for these people being able to say whatever without professional consequences if someone strongly dislikes it or not.

The Headline is a lie.

She made a rhetorical point that life in the US was better than Africa. But the headline implies she wanted black people to go away because she did not want to be around them.

No. It’s just stupidity to write this on social media in this day and age.

One picks their fights wisely.

Now the job is gone and blacks dont cry about how africa is better. They cry about EVERYTHING else but i’ve not met one that wants to go back.

How many generations are they removed now?

If your great great great grandparent came from Ireland an someone said “Go back to Ireland” you’d think they were nuts.

FTA: “People of all races, religions, and ethnicities choose to immigrate to the U.S., because they know that the U.S. will treat them far better than the countries from which they are leaving.”

At the taxpayers’ expense and detriment.

The alternative for these ingrates is to return to the land of their ancestors, where they can live in mud huts, endure the bites of the tsetse fly, and walk around with elephantiasis.

My dad’s father came her from Denmark. I can’t “go back to Denmark” because I’ve never been there. Black Americans can’t go back because they’ve never been either and to be honest, their ancestors have been in America longer than many of mine. I know that many feel they have a connection to the continent but doubt very many would like to trade places.

This has some similarities to when the WDC teacher got fired for using the word “niggardly”. What a PC joke. Pathetic.
