I don't think the "go back" argument is flawed. Not when you consider the mindset of those demanding my money. They dont think of themselves as Americans. They truly do think of themselves as African first and foremost and they truly believe they are "from Africa".

The "go back" argument is flawed on its face! I could care less what they think. The point is that the "go back" argument presents a physical impossibility in that one can not "go back" where they have never been to in the first place. It presupposes that the person(s) who are to "go back" has been, so, if the person(s) have not been, how can you "go back?"

But I'm sure the statement makes those who use it feel better. It never ceases to amaze me that the race issue on FR incorporates the language of the enemy. Those conservatives who criticize black people for listening to race hustlers often take what those race hustlers say as truth and apply it to every other black person. You've just done it. You are making their argument for them by saying what they think they are. We know better, however. If my cousin starts to call himself an "African in America," he'd get lauged out the house. I'd tell him, "You're an African in America, huh? Boy, you know damn well you're from Cleveland just like me!"

Last time. You can NOT go "back" to where you have never even been to in the first place. Period. End of story. A physical impossibility no matter who thinks what.
