Excuse me, Bull, but after helping to build this country to what it was, why in the hell should the former slaves have "gone back to where they came from"? As for white Americans so distressed with freed slaves that they had to enact inhumane, discriminatory laws: why couldn't they have gone back to Europe? We all have an investment in America: if you're ready to walk away because people speaking their mind upsets you, then leave...please.
