She hopes to one day return to an equal and racially tolerant America.

She should stay here and help us make it come true.

She should try Liberia...I hear they got lots of diamonds and they’ll even let you dig for them. What a country!

” - - - - Back in the ’90s, my mother brought me from our home in the Caribbean islands to the U.S., along with my brother and sister. I was 4 years old. - - - “

Duh, another post-1986 Kennedy Amnesty Border failure story.

BTW, how much money was taken from us taxpayers to raise and educate her?

It is all about the money, FReepers - - - - YOUR tax money.

Black people can swim just fine. They just can’t play Frisbee.

in a journalism class. I was one of only two people who were disturbed.

I call BS. Pretty much every journalism student is disturbed.

Teeny, tiny violins are playing somewhere in the background.
She has obviously read Obama’s Magnum Opus and learned how to at least simulate the rhetoric that plays such an essential part in the mock-serious game o racial hair-splitting and navel-gazing.

Most of these “nannies” who come here quickly learn how to milk the system for all kinds of “assistance”: food stamps, welfare, WIC, Section 8 housing, etc. One friend of ours was talking to one of these “nannies” who told her it was totally incomprehensible to her that somebody WOULDN’T take every free dime they could get from the government. She went down the list of goodies she was getting in a “well, of course” kind of manner. I guess it’s a cultural thing - - some cultures have absolutely no shame.

I existed right there on the fringe of ugly, ignorant and uncultured. Black but not black enough for my positive attributes to be justified. “Where are you from?” potential dates asked when they met me. “I am from Trinidad and Tobago,” I said. “Oh, that’s why you are so beautiful and exotic — I knew you couldn’t be all black.”

I know someone from Trinidad. He says the lighter skinned blacks discriminate against the darker skinned blacks.

“I never accepted the misogynistic, drug-infested, stripper-glamorizing, hip-hop culture that is force-fed to black youths through square tubes.”

“stripper-glamorizing”, Tiffanie? Really? Only last year you posted:

“...the misogynistic, drug-infested, stripper-glamorizing, hip-hop culture that is force-fed to black youths through square tubes.”

When she can keep that in mind during the coverage of events like Trayvon’s attack on Zimmerman, she’ll be an adult.

Our media is a horror in the land.

I have a lot of friends from Trinidad, Barbados and Dominique who are US residents. They are happy, well adjusted people who love this country and are thrilled to live in a society that is tolerant and caring. They are also Christian and conservative. Odd isn’t it that liberals are always so unhappy?

At her age, boundless self-importance is well within the normal range; at President You Didn’t Build That’s, it’s a sign of deep, abiding malice.

>>>I hear Nigeria is nice.<<<

Not that bad comparing to the rest of black Africa. The problem Nigeria is 100% black and this poor girl won’t have an audience to exercise her racial rhetoric. I recommend her Libya to feel the difference. I hope they won’t put her in a zoo.

I would generally recommend NOT conducting one’s personal therapy via publishing a rant disguised as an article or essay. Private counseling might help this young woman.
