10 Reasons Why I Don't miss Living in the USA

[mrken12]

The poorest Americans are still in the richest global 1 %. Don't be stupid.

So? We've already talked about how money and material possessions still don't provide happiness or even a stable quality of life. There are people in the Caribbean who only have a TV and washing machine who are far more happier than those same poor Americans.

Black Americans...how can you be proud of a country that was built off of the destruction, enslavement, and the dehumanization of your/our people for centuries?

America is safe compared to other countries, and there are opportunities, but I can never see myself having any semblance of pride as an American or in this country because of this. Let alone the currently overzealous and destructive military industrial complex and it's need to oversee the affairs of the world under the guise of a worldly "overseer/father figure" position.

And shyt, any person of color that doesn't look at America as "land of the free" and isn't a knee jerk patriot is looked at like a damn terrorist. What the hell is that all about? No one is going to agree with EVERYTHING this country does, but if you don't salute the flag, shop at Wal-Mart, and blindly agree and comply with everything about the government (despite it's corruption), the justice system (despite it's injustices past and present), it's economy (despite it's continuing debts and issues with jobs), and other things...White Americans (and other Americans by default) see you as a threat...like there is NO middle ground whatsoever and that's dangerous.

Well said. I'll never forget what this country was built on. They want us to forget even though some of the worse acts of racism happened less than 50 years ago.

Diverse? A lot of other countries are diverse. Big deal.

And the criticisms are well-deserved. This is nowhere close to the best country and if you ask me, is one of the worst.

aight, well we're done here since you're clearly trolling.

Kneejerk American response: "If you don't like it...get the f*ck out of mah country you goddamn nagger ass commie pinko b*stard!"

Yeah, your country that you slaughtered Native Americans for to turn into a gigantic shopping mall and gun show...

Yeah, your country where you complain about the price of gas yet have a sport where cars run 500 laps that's a big deal...if you like complaining about it...why don't you just bomb and invade another oil rich country under the guise of "WMDs" "Sharia Law" "islamic radicals" or whatever xenophobic buzzwords you want to put on people to get them riled up for something that goes against their best interests...

Where my family migrated to for the chance for a better life because apparently this is the "land of the free" and "justice for all" and the "pursuit of happiness" and yadda yadda yadda...even though we are lacking the WASPyness and lack of pigmentation to be considered TRUE Americans and will be seen as a tad bit short of welfare thieves, affrimative action recipients who didn't earn anything (even when you are the majority of government assistance reciepients), and ghetto hooligans that are genetically predisposed to ratchetness, violent crime, laziness, and whatever negative traits you wanna throw at us...

Yeah, it's YOUR country...even though Black people are the ones that built this country for FREE while your white asses did nothing but reap the benefits of their blood, sweat, and tears...


Sorry...this shyt just cracks me up. Continue people with your convo.

Who the fukk cares about "happiness"??? Thats something INDIVIDUALS have to figure out. No amount of stuff or lack of stuff can help you achieve that.

Do you KNOW anyone in the carribbean? I got distant relatives out there. Theres a reason they're "happy"...they ain't got shyt else!

Theres a reason they moved to the USA.

aight, well we're done here since you're clearly trolling.

So I'm trolling for having a different opinion?

As a black person, the US is not a great country and there are far better countries out there.

I, for one, am no forgetting what it took to get to this point.

...but to sit here and denigrate the obvious advantages and opportunities the average american has is NOT something to be overlooked.

How do you know that they're happy though? There's a reason why so many people want to immigrate here so I doubt they are happy with their current lives. If Americans are unhappy, it's because of self entitlement.

As a black person, you've just demonstrated that you don't own a passport...but keep shouting for these people out here.

You're clearly not qualified to contribute to this convo on the notion that you CLEARLY dont have enough perspective about how the rest of the world works.

Black American or just "American"? There's a difference.

What countries weren't built on blood and White supremacy? Stop typing platitudes and start listing countries?

Both.

Black Americans are faring better than most black people around the world, AND even America's poorest live way, WAY better than the poor elsewhere.

True...the number one thing that gets to me is I WANT this country to be better. I believe in what the people before us wanted for our generation...it saddens me that we're constantly fighting against those who don't want things to change.

I have many great memories here, but the thing that gets to me is what type of environment do I want my kids to live in? And that's where I stand still next to myself.

The Malcolm Xs, MLKs, WEB Dubois, Marcus Garveys, etc...they wanted better for us...are we there? Are we willing to work to better that, or are we just complacent?

That's the reason I don't care about the older generation...they gave up on us. I care about the youth cause they still have a passion for this country and for change that they abandoned or didn't have....that's what tears me up about these conversations. These kids don't know. I rather care about them and reach out to them nowadays.
