        They must be sent back to Africa, they must build their own country instead of tearing down and degrading others

        Do you think the same should apply to the millions of Caucasians in African lands?🤔

        Then Why do they want to go to Caucasian countries? If the white man was so bad. they should remain in Africa and develop their own countries. The truth is Violence, rape and crime by migrants is becoming a serious problem.

        I don’t know their reasons & nobody (but you) said the white man is bad. Am just curious whether you also think Caucasians should remain in Europe? - there are millions all over Africa. I see you’ve dodged the question & deflected, have a good day.

        You are totally right. There are so many in Africa, but I don't recall people telling them to go to their country.

        Where to start. Brutality of imperialism and those perpetrated is still felt today. Look what happened to Algeria, Marocco. Imperialism tried to change even their culture and creed. Look Burkina Faso and what Thomas Sankara once said 👇pic.twitter.com/wLLwsqjwiY
