In reply to the discussion: #NotRacists Be Like: The Top 10 Phrases Used by People Who Claim They Are Not Racist [View all]MrScorpio
(73,630 posts)32. I have been told to go back to Africa by people like that
It was funny, one particular fool didnt say Africa, per se, he told me to go back where my ancestors came from.
He left a door open, so I walked through. I told him that my ancestors were English, Irish, African and also Native American. Which meant my roots in this country go further back than his own. After a lengthy discussion where I documented my Native American heritage, another poster pointed out to him that I handed his ass to him.
Of course, my detractor never got it that hes a racist piece of shit. They never do.
Did I mention that this asshole was also a fan of George Zimmerman?
