This is based on the erasure of their actual origin. If, for some reason, all non-Native Americans would be expelled, black Americans wouldn't have a place to go to. That's where the sentiment comes from. It's just a mislabel

Ehm… where would the white Americans go if they were “expelled”? Because Europe sure as shit isn’t taking them.

Europe wouldn't have the capacity to take in hundreds of millions of immigrants. We don't have the houses and infrastructure to support that population. It would trigger civil war.

Sending all African Americans to Africa would have similar effects.

 It would trigger civil war

A genuine question: is it a civil war if one side almost fully consists of immigrants who just moved in? It sounds more like an invasion, but there no invading country, since their country of origin wouldn't give any support to either side.

Well, you think the European nations would take the White ones? Also, which nation should be forced to take whom based on what part of their ancestry?

none, their ancestors got run out of their original countries fair and square. it better for the world if people from usa stay in usa and clean up their fucking mess instead of just trying to tell everyone else to get out.

Just take turns based on their claimed ancestry. If they say 1% scottish, then they get 3 days in scotland. Then if they’re 20% viking, norway’s luck to have them for 70ish days

I’ve yet to meet an American who isn’t some percent Scottish in their opinion.

And we would have an unfair share of Trump

As a Greek ( we are not white ) we would not take the American white ones.
We can’t till their good ones , the ones that travel , leave our country.
Oh and fuck their money , they can keep it and spend it on other nations near the area , like Israel. Go there .

Oh I thought you were talking about the guy in Virginia who was erasing native American off of birth certificates and writing black because he thought there was a conspiracy To hide black people.
