Many Americans probably have no idea of the long history of the “go back to your country” taunt and how it was used to denigrate ethnic minorities. If they did, they would better understand the visceral reaction to it.
To understand what is unfolding, one must understand the history of this awful saying. One must also understand that we, as ethnic minorities, consider ourselves to be co-equal citizens in this fantastic country we call America. In other words, there is no place to go back to. This is my country—the one that I love.
When President Donald Trump said four members of Congress should “go back” to the “places from which they came,” he was wrong, and he shouldn’t have said it.
His words conjured up unpleasant memories for so many black people like me and immigrants alike who have been targets of the “go back to your country” taunt throughout their lives. His words hurt people beyond the congresswomen he intended to condemn.
I won’t offer an excuse for his ill-worded tweets, but simply some perspective as someone who has met with the president and whose organization works with his administration daily.
The president loves this country, believes in the goodness of this country, and defends this country when others attack it. His tweets and follow-on comments were unacceptable, but let’s also be honest enough to recognize the destructive and divisive nature of the rhetoric of the members of Congress in question.
I can understand why Americans are tired of the growing chorus of anti-American sentiment from “The Squad.” We all can certainly have honest disagreements with how the country is being run—that’s one of the wonderful features of the American system—but to regularly trash it, its people, and those who protect it is another thing entirely.

Yeah. I remember my kin folk having to deal with that in the 1630 time frame when they arrived from Holland. Oh, wait........
Another snowflake whining. What’s next, reparations for all verbally-damaged tweet victims?
“America, Love it or Leave it”
Liberia began as a settlement of the American Colonization Society (ACS), who believed black people would face better chances for freedom and prosperity in Africa than in the United States.
It’s the absolute height of hypocrisy when people denigrate the USA like the democrats are doing, but refuse to go somewhere else to live...They obviously don’t want to leave the good life they have...They just lie about it....
Complete and utter effluents.
Yea, but is it?
Really?
The main reason the Four Horsefaces are getting away with outrageous anti-Americanism is precisely because they ARE 'females of color'. They use that status as a shield against legitimate criticism.
Anyone who criticizes them is a 'racist', just like it was 'racist' for 8 years to attack Barry Jugears.
Why don’t they just answer the question? If you hate it here so much, why don’t you go somewhere else?
Clarification: Snowflake refers to Omar, not the author of this article.
Kay Cole James, you missed half his sentence. Like entering the hospital, if you are contaminated do not visit. It doesn’t mean do not visit to everyone. If you are going to try to make America Muslim or socialist, go somewhere else. Not about color or origin, about character and honoring the Constitution.
Perfect. The ones invited to leave were the ones who DON'T love this country.
Hey Kay. Don’t go back.
Just go away.
Just leave.
