      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.

          Very well stated - Rallying against all injustices, whether we’re personally affected or not, is the only way to persevere.

          We should care cause remember trump is trying to also get rid of us so why shouldn’t we care. Us blacks are not different than those being shipped back because remember he said he want blacks to be gone as well.

          We can't separate who or what we choose to stand up for. First they come for them, who y'all think their coming for next. We as humans are in this together. Luckily many of us weren't raised to think we're supreme over others.

          Tell me where in history, recent or within the last 200 years, where black solidarity product another groups reciprocity? Can’t say the Jews. Or the brown ppl Or the Japanese. Or the Koreans. So why should we keep doing something that doesn’t work?

          Why should black people care? The same reason white people should care. Even if we have our own problems, they wont get better by ignoring the plight of others. Plus, the enemy of our enemy is my friend. So even if you dont care about these people, we can all agree we hate Trump!
