I will ignore your delusions about how much you know but where are you suggesting 40,000,000 people go on short notice?
Doesn't that mean conceding the genocidal NAZIs had the right to annihilate the Indians and steal the continent?
If all Black Americans with mortgages try to liquidate their property at once, what will that do to the value of their property? Aren't you suggesting some kind of economic suicide?

Yeah we can take a rocketship and then live on Mars...
I will never leave this country nor have I ever thought about it, this is nothing compared to the struggles of the past. The out pouring of support among Americans (black and white)in my city and across the nation has been overwhelming. This is a complete failure of gov't and the breaking ofa social contract. This gov't will be dealt with in the coming weeks. Ive had life long republicans come up to me (I work in govt)and have denounced this administration..
I think thishurricane debacle surpasses 9/11 in the political implications it will have, and itwill be HISTORIC, it may even halt the "war on terror". We havent even started the body count yet, we havent discussed the displacement of all these people, we havent seen the cost of rebuilding an entire city!!...Bush has utterly failed this country as a leader in every way a leader could fail...I have tried time after time to give this man the benefit of the doubt but he is ALWAYS wrong...The terrorist attacks, the blackouts, the botched war, the gas prices, the lack of leadership..It has been hell living under this administration.

Brother Omowale Malcolm X delivered one of his best speech on the 10 nov 1963 in Detroit it is called "Message to the Grassroots" he opens with a few sentences which I think are very appropriate for the debacle which is going on in the Gulf States. While Africans in American were waving flags when Sept 11 was going on saying “we are all Americans� not every one shared that sentiment. I do not think Africans in America need to leave strategically we need then there but they do need to start some sort of planning for independent thought. I hope at the Millions More Movement will be a platform for this type of thought
Brother Malcolm in his own words:-
“America has a very serious problem. Not only does America have a very serious problem, but our people have a very serious problem. America's problem is us. We're her problem. The only reason she has a problem is she doesn't want us here. And every time you look at yourself, be you black, brown, red, or yellow -- a so-called Negro -- you represent a person who poses such a serious problem for America because you're not wanted. Once you face this as a fact, then you can start plotting a course that will make you appear intelligent, instead of unintelligent.
What you and I need to do is learn to forget our differences. When we come together, we don't come together as Baptists or Methodists. You don't catch hell 'cause you're a Baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a Methodist. You don't catch hell 'cause you're a Methodist or Baptist. You don't catch hell because you're a Democrat or a Republican. You don't catch hell because you're a Mason or an Elk. And you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an American; 'cause if you was an American, you wouldn't catch no hell. You catch hell 'cause you're a black man. You catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.�

If Black people aren't gonna fight back and defend themselves in there own country then we might as well get the hell out.
Might as well jump in the Atlantic ocean because we're gonna have the same problems everywhere we go.
Am I my brother\'s keeper?
YES I AM

If you are not going to leave america then you better start making plans to unite and create something of your own within the country andwake up realise thatracist leaders that do not have your interest at heart.
New Orleans was just a warning you best wake up and start making plans now!!!!!.

Frankly, I think you'll find prejudice and hardship everywhere you go. But it's ridiculous to think that these things can't be overcome. Anyone who turns tail and runs at a moment like this, in my opinion, is of weak mind and spirit.

I know you'vre thought about doing it before but have never had enough motivate to take those instincts seriously.
Well now I think it's time you really considered leaving the United States.
Do it ASAP, as in immediately.
Where do you come up with stuff like this? Do you just type cos you feel like it or cause you got a message?

We should leave america? For What? You're telling us to move to a country where racism isn't present? Oh and where will that be? I've lived in the states all my life and proud of my state also.
