In America, when you hear discussions about
immigration and establishing an effective border control policy; usually the
first nationality of people you might think about aren’t blacks.
In America, when you hear about unarmed males
being gunned down by police, the picture in your head isn’t a Latino male, it’s
a black male.
One race struggles for the right to become a
permanent resident in a country that provides a better way of life; while the
other race struggles to literally survive in the same country where the value of
their life can be less than the life of a dog.
These two groups of people seem to have two
totally different fights; one for national citizenship and another for the
right to breath. What’s alarming is both of these nationalities are fighting
individually against a machine (government) that does not have either of the
two best interests at heart. Blacks are
very much tied to the notion of deportation as the Hispanic race is, but on a
different level. While my Hispanic brothers and sisters are fighting to not be
deported back to their country; my black brothers and sisters are fighting not
to be deported into a correctional facility.
I wonder what would happen if both nationalities
looked at their struggle collectively; noticing that even though they are a
majority in this country, their government does not reflect it. I see a bunch
of old white people in congress; I see the Supreme Court and it portrays the
same image; except for Judge Thomas. Google
the senate and tell me who do you see; not the majority. This would be a good
time to ask a very important question; how can the minority rule over the
majority? What if both nationalities merged and formed an alliance based on
establishing laws for a Brown America?
