There have been posts about African Americans rubbing the American flag on their butt like it was toilet paper. Americans don't agree with the photos and this has started a worldwide problem. There were also photos of African Americans trampling on the American flag. Some Americans took it so offensively that they commented on the photos “back to Africa.” Yes, I think the photos were unnecessary and disrespectful, but that doesn't mean you have to say "go back to Africa". White people commit crimes too. Why are there no comments about where white people should go? Where should white people go if they make a mistake? Even when Mexicans commit a crime, people say “go back to Mexico.” They shouldn't do this, we are all guilty of doing something wrong which doesn't mean we have to leave the United States. On the news they always say “a white cop kills a black man” instead it should be “a cop kills a man after…” Cops deserve more respect but we Americans believe they are racist. You never know who has a gun or who is going to hurt you. I think people should put themselves in a world of cops and see who they would kill if necessary and how they would feel if their life was in danger while everyone is sitting at home safe making fun of them for being racist
