I Hate Racism
Go back to where you came from - even if you’re an American who happens to have parents who were born elsewhere
That’s what your Trump says. The fact that he is also the child of immigrants amuses me but this is not what this post is about.
I live in Britain. I am British, I was born in Britain. My mother is from Barbados, my father is from Burkina Faso. But if I go back to where I came from, I go back to the Royal Surrey County Hospital.
But I’m black, so I’ve heard this line all my life too. Before you complain about things here, go sort out the problems in your own country. Britain is my country. I’ve never even been to Barbados or Burkina Faso. The USA is those politicians’ country.
Trump using those lines to them will justify people shooting that line at me. Racism is on the increase and it makes me sick. I despise anyone who could possibly think that these words were anything less than shameful.
And Trump did go back to Scotland, where his mother came from, my sympathy for the Scottish independence movement would increase tenfold.
