An African- American man, Larry Mitchell from
Indiana has taken the advice of white racists
quite literally and started a campaign to go back
home to Africa.
With the dismaying rise of racism in Europe and
America in recent times, many African-Americans
are becoming more and more sensitive to the
issue.
Mitchell decided to start a “GoFundMe” campaign
to actually go back to Africa. The name of the
campaign is Send me ‘back’ to Africa. The idea is
to ask the same people who are calling for
African-Americans to ‘go home’ to pay for that
trip. On the page he wrote, “…you can help make
your dream and mine come true… excepting [sic]
all donations… KKK, Skin Heads and anyone else
with like mind thinking are welcome to donate…
Thank you.. God bless you and America…
#putyourmoneywhereyourhateis.”
According to the NewYork Daily News, Mitchell
started the campaign in the aftermath of the
Alton Sterling and Eddie Castille killings when he
saw racist messages online.
He said “It kind of shocked me, because we just
celebrated the Fourth of July, and to come back
the next week and see people saying ‘Go Back to
Africa,’
“If you want me to go ‘back’ to Africa, then pay
for it.”
So far he’s raised $60 out of his $100,000 for his
aim which he kicked off on the 8th of July.
There have been some comments that are
fuelled by hate like one who said “you better not
come back.” and donated $5.
Another said, “You are an idiot. You are an
American, start acting like it. Always trying to get
free money, get a damn job and quit being an
embarrassment.”
Mitchell also got positive feedback from some
people.
Mitchell has actually never been to Africa but
says he wants to learn about their customs and
culture including their cuisine as he is an aspiring
chef.
Mitchell is doubtful that he’ll raise the money,
but if he did he would indeed travel even though
he has no idea what country he’d actually go to. www.herald.ng/racism-black-american-starts-gofundme-campaign-go-back-africa/?utm_source=nnd&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=nnd

I watched some black American women on TVC with tears of Joy,happiness. dy claimed to have traced their origin back to Osun I be like when some peeps are dying to go to Ame

Fine dude.we will welcome you to Africa.

Yeah right. Going to Africa, come to Papa. Abegi, nor dey patronize us with all this HomelandAfrica rhetoric! We know those of ours wey dey hold it down in Diaspora.

Soft-boiled privileged kunta with access to everything still dey complain; See his Bin Laden "gaymu" sef

Oya, come now, make we see wetin mosquitoes, NEPA, fuel scarcity, weakened currency etc go do to your M.Luther King/ Malcom X-ist bullshyt ideological philosophies.

Out here when agbero punch you the first time, you'll find itself looking for cab to take you back to US, you won't wait for your airplane anymore.

You think you know what it takes to roll out here? You think I'd be able to grow the balls even if u were dashed 2 extra lifetimes?

Guy dey ur corner o; just maintain ur standing position.

Meanwhile, salute to all hard striving Nigerian youths & ladies keeping it real on the home front, BabaGod pick your calls soonest!

Great idea.

But he needn't have mentioned racism in his campaign.

The funds should come from the black community and those who support the black community.

I strongly believe every black person must travel to Africa at least once in their lifetime.

Please actually coming to Africa
Dodge Nigeria

Try Ghana and

Kenya

HungerBad for Nigeria and our dullard president love his cows more than Nigerians

Avoid South Africa
Those ones will accuse u of snatching there sisters front them.
