We are still whipping black bodies in 2021. Shame on us as a nation. For our inhumanity.

Border patrol is mounted on horseback rounding up Haitian refugees with whips. This is unfathomable cruelty towards people fleeing disaster and political ruin. The administration must stop this.

Haitian refugees—fleeing disasters which have been amplified by climate change, political turmoil, and violence—have been chased w/ horses & beaten w/ whips This treatment is racist, inhumane, & disgraceful Assaulting starving refugees is also ILLEGAL Charges must be brought

Let's say for a moment I'm a heartless jerk who thinks we SHOULD keep them out. This is it? This is what 760b in defense budget buys? 6 horses and 6 Boso's riding them? Surely we can afford better, no matter what your take is on immigration. (for the record, mine is LET THEM IN)

That is clearly the rein, not a whip. This treatment is unacceptable regardless but lying doesn’t help the cause.

Looks like a scene from a movie that parodies racism. Inhumane and shameful indeed.
