Tiffanie Drayton is a freelance writer and graduate of The New School University. She hopes to one day return to an equal and racially tolerant America.

She should go to Egypt I hear it’s a real blast over there.

[A_Former_Democrat]

She needs to stay in Trinidad and encourage others to follow They can build their own Utopia there since they are so much smarter and worldly than the rest of us

Good riddance

[brownsfan]

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

[Viennacon]

Boo hoo!

[rustyboots]

I hope the door didn’t hit her in the A** too hard as she left.

[samadams2000]

Pleaase please come back and let us love you!!!!

[DManA]

I hear Nigeria is nice.

[saganite]

Well, bye!

[GeronL]

Oh, cuz we don’t appry-sate the crime and the droogs and the high taxes and run down ‘hoods duzzint mean we donna luvz ya

[rockrr]

She will never learn the simple truth - intolerance follows her wherever she may go. Perhaps that is because it is she who is intolerant - not everyone around her.

A friend of mine posted on my Facebook page, “You made the right choice.” I think I did, too.

I'll bet that internet access to check the Facebook page in T&T is as reliable as it is here - she should encourage all her friends to leave the US.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Gee, Tiffanie, so sorry we failed you.

[ReaganÜberAlles]

Perhaps we can convince more of her kind to vacate the “premises”.

Self-righteous, pampered, spoiled, over-educated and under wise denizen of the new American sub-culture called:

Whaaaa...My Life Is Unfair!”

So glad my father and my uncles slugged it out against the Japs, the Krauts ands the Commies so that this useless you-know-what can throw it back in their faces.

"I hope the door didn’t hit her in the A** too hard as she left."

I don't know. I'm kind of hoping it DID hit her in the ass ass she left.

[faithhopecharity]

She is 98% mistaken, it is so very sad. Almost all Americans would give her a fair chance...
But okay, “Bon Voyage lady!”
See if you can find a better place to live, is ok with me.
You’re entitled.

(Maybe take a nice Kenyan politician with you?)

[samadams2000]

I hope she does something really brave like Rachel Corrie.

[cherry]

some people just think their shinola don’t stink.....

"My relationship with the United States of America is the most tumultuous relationship I have ever had, and it ended with the heart-rending realization that a country I loved and believed in did not love me back."

Ok little princess. Show us the ways you loved this country. List them all.

I am no longer able to be tolerant of race baiting bastards and bitches who seek only to divide Americans. If this particular fool doesn’t love America, let her leave and NEVER come back. I for one will not even miss her ilk. Time to see real Americans, fellow members of We The People stand up and reject these cretins, now, before they succeed in what little barry bastard boy has set out to accomplish.
