For the past four years, I have lived in America, but America does not belong to me. Here, I am part of a minority that constitutes the majority of the world: I am a person of colour. I am an immigrant in a country that purports to be a melting pot but is in reality a crucible, a vessel of fierce and fiercely luminous burning.


Don't like it. Please leave.

Yes, we were all as happy as clams, holding hands and singing Kumbaya until midnight on November 8, 2016.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_War_(novel)

American War is the first novel by Canadian-Egyptian journalist Omar El Akkad. It is set in a near-future United States of America ravaged by climate change in which a second Civil War has broken out over the use of fossil fuels. The story is told by Benjamin Chestnut about his aunt Sarat, and is told through narrative chapters interspersed with fictional primary documents collected by the narrator....

A liberal’s creed: never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.

I agree. This sad person is obviously unhappy here: We aren't living up to his expectations, poor dear! I think that he's simply too good for us! He really ought to go to some other country where he would feel more "at home." Somewhere where he would not be part of a "minority that constitutes a majority of the world." Maybe China? I hear they have a very welcoming immigration policy. And there, he would still be free to publish all the critical articles condemning society that he wants, right?

Regards,

Barack Obama’s presidency was supposed to mark a great leap forward for the United States

These folks think/desire the nation they move to, should/would adopt their ways and forsake their own. When it doesn’t, they think they’ve been mistreated.

Someone needs to clue these clueless individuals in.

Of course our Leftists agree with them, and changing the United States (always for the worst) is their full-time goal.

This isn’t always the disruptive immigrant’s fault in total. Our Left seeks to enable them, defend them when they go about things improperly.

Send the disgruntled immigrant back, and every Leftist who thinks he’s right to disrupt here right along with him.

This guy sounds dangerous and should be questioned by authorities. Almost certainly he’s a terrorist.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this clown still uses his fingers to wipe himself.

That would defeat his purpose, to conquer America and make it a nation devoted to Islam.

The effrontery is strong in this one . . . best I can make out, it is autobiographical where it pretends to be about Trump.

More divisive skin tone obsession. These people need to find a new hobby.

Most of that time was when Obama was president.....
