      I want you to see this family. They were separated by the Trump administration at the border. They're from Honduras. I've seen some Black folk ask why we should care about this crisis when we have "our own problems." Let me unpack my answer in a thread //pic.twitter.com/wMbW4y3iJK

      1. First and foremost, we should care about families being forcefully separated at the border because what is happening there is pure, unadulterated evil and Dr. King was right, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

      2. What we see happening to immigrant families at the border is nothing but a new expression of white supremacy. White supremacy is the undergirding philosophy at work in this injustice - they are just finding other ways to express it.

          3. What we see happening to immigrant families at the border is just another expression of mass incarceration - which we know full well is our enemy. When that system grows, we must always make it our business to fight back.

          4. A huge percentage of immigrants to the United States are Black - including tens of thousands, more like hundreds of thousands, of people who've been targeted and deported. Many of the families being separated at the border are also Black.

          5. Lastly, solidarity cannot be a game of chicken, where one group only steps up to help when they perceive the other group has done A,B, or C before they support them. We support people who've been wronged, who are experiencing injustice, because they need the help. Period.

          So having a sovereign state is a ‘White supremacy’ thing?

          Shaun, it's not just white supremacy, it's money! Trump creates problems then solves to make himself look good to the swamp rats that follow him.

          White supremacy is always trying to destroy everyone and everything. But they have had and have kept their feet on blacks neck. And they have used hispanics strategically to make black an even lower class in America. We are not equal in this fight

          They want White America. They want it like before the Civil War. They want it back to when America was created. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, EVERYTHING IS ABOUT WHITE AMERICA.
