It is clear that whenever a white person says that this is a nation of immigrants, he or she is either intentionally ignoring thirteen percent of the population including the former President’s wife or he or she is just flat out ignorant.
The ancestors of African-Americans did not immigrate to this country.
On the contrary, they were forcibly brought here in chains, in the most inhumane conditions imaginable, from such countries as Sierra Leone, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Liberia and Nigeria and then forced into slavery for over 300 years.

Are these individuals just ignorant of this nation’s history? Perhaps so. It also appears that, by their silence, the members of the so-called Congressional Black Caucus, as well as former President, Obama are equally as ignorant or appear to be so.
Is this chapter in this nation’s history so disgraceful that these white people would like to ignore it. Perhaps. But, I will not let such a statement go unaddressed.
Again, this is a nation of people some of whom immigrated here on their own free will and some of whom were brought here against their will and forced by white people into the most vicious and inhumane type of slavery that the world has ever seen.
Moreover, the people whose ancestors were brought here as slaves have ancestors who were here long before most white immigrants from Europe arrived to these shores.
