I've been reading a lot of stories about a massive wave of African migrants waiting in the Mediterranean to cross into Europe. We are talking millions of people and not thousands. It appears that the European welcome mat has gone away. Those that do want migrants want them conditionally, with the thought they must conform to the European culture, and way of life. History tells us that is not going to happen. History also tells us maybe the Africans didn't like it when Europe colonized them either, Hello, talking to you King Leopold and the Belgian Congo. We can only assume the atrocities that happened there, but I imagine it was much much worse.
Although I love Europe and grew up there for most of my life, I can't say I'm sorry that this is happening. It is sad that the European culture will change, but I think about all the natural riches of Africa that Europe has stolen over the generations. It is undeniable that their culture was forever changed too.
Even here in the good ol' US, I find it odd that so many Americans want to Keep the Mexicans out when in reality they probably have a closer tie to the Native Americans of this land (talking to you Texas & California, you know the truth!)
Side story: I was standing in Home Depot minding my own business when an old white dude came up and told me to go back across the border (true story). I wondered what border since I am part Iroquois. You just can't make this stuff up. Upon hearing that statement my husband, part Blackfoot, who is also the most kind gentle man I've ever known, made the most animalistic wolf growl sound I've ever heard. That old guy took off like a bat out of hell after that.
One thing is for sure, history does repeat itself and sometimes the second time around it is twice as ugly!

LOL karma must be bull# because my nation the UK has caused some of the most problems in the world and we haven't got the economic migrant problem the rest of the EU has.
Hint, island nation with strong border controls enforced on the French side of the channel.

If you were colonised by Britain back in our colonial stage you would have been feeling very lucky to have not been colonised by the French or Dutch, just saying...

Maybe they would have been perfectly happy with mud houses.
