In reaction to the Karmelo Anthony verdict, podcaster Larry Reid called for a mass exodus of black Americans to Africa. 
He stated the following: 
I want you to begin to think about this America and the white people problem that we have... 
As a collective, let's drain this place of its benefits and make our mass exodus and go home and build. 
Civil rights did not make white people that are infected with whiteness stop being racist. 
They still raised racist children that run this country to this day. 
You come from a land that flows with milk and honey. 
They pulled you out of that land ancestrally and brought you to a place to where your royalty was not recognized. 
Used your black power, your black mysticism, your African spirituality, and your physiological superiority to build this country and give everybody reparations except you. 
We put one aspiring astronaut in jail for stabbing to death a white boy and a whole lot of black people want to take off for Africa. 
If only it were that easy. 
Larry Reid and his 800,000 listeners are not leaving. 
No black people are leaving for Africa. 
They don't want to risk losing the benefits that have accrued to them from the Great American White guilt trip. 
In Africa, they would be just another famished face. 
In America, they can retain the illusion that they are African royalty in exile. 
In Africa, their long-lost brothers would see them as scam artists. 
It would be sink or swim, adapt or perish, for them the second that they hit the African turf. 
There would be no liberal white women to soften the transition. 
There would be no affirmative action jobs awaiting them upon arrival. 
Government and corporate diversity positions, if they do exist, would be in the exclusive domain of the local warlord and he won't be sharing with newcomers, black, white or otherwise. 
I love Larry's idea. 
America would benefit from the exodus of a perennial complainer class and Larry Reid and his militia numbering 800,000 might be able to topple the local dictator and live as the African royalty that they always envisioned themselves as being. 
That is until some Hutu-like uprising deposes them. 
However, it's all talk and no action on Larry's part. 
My great grandchildren will have to walk on eggshells, just as white Americans have done over the last sixty years. 
It is our cross to bear. 
The Great Black Reunion is a pipe dream.
