OPINION:
I keep hearing about the “White privilege” and repatriations for slavery being spouted by liberal Democrats. As is usually the case, talk is cheap.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, singer Madonna, most of the Hollywood elite, college professors, etc., should lead by example and turn over all of their wealth and income to the poor — and then go live in the inner city of a Democrat-run, U.S. urban center or some politically “ideal” country, such as Cuba or Venezuela.
The U.S. government or someone like George Soros needs to set a up a program so BLM and Antifa protesters can volunteer to do the same. After all, they find the United States such a vile place to live. The government should pay for their one-way airfare if they agree to forfeit their citizenship and never return. For the descendants of slaves, a special $10,000 cash bonus should be provided if they wish to return whence their ancestors originated. There they can seek additional reparations from the descendants of those who sold their ancestors into slavery in the first place.
Of course, none of this will never happen. If a paid-to-leave program were set up, in all likelihood fewer than 1,000 would sign on and actually go. Those 1,000 would be lucky to make it a year in their new countries. Just imagine what would happen if any of them protested in their new homelands or shined lasers in the eyes of the police officers there.
I have been to Third World countries. They are not a pretty sight, which is why their citizens all want to come to the U.S. If our country were as terrible as the left claims, millions of Americans would be fleeing to Mexico and Central America each year.
