I can’t put into words eloquent enough to describe my appreciation for this take. It’s like hearing my own soul speak. I have the same sympathy for actual poor black people. I am a child of immigrants both white and Hispanic that had nothing to do with racism and hardship blacks in this country faced. I have Black, White, and Latino direct family members. My family for two generations has sacrificed blood, sweat, and souls to this country and flag. Seeing people manipulate these communities makes us sick, seeing the lies these people both spin and believe is alarming to my family as a whole. I don’t recognize the country I gave my legs too, the country my brother died for, the country my father came too and then spent a year in a coma as a result of defending. This manipulative political crap is a detriment to everyone and people are to blind or angry to see it. I fear peoples politics will make them ignore the truth you bared here, the scariest part is they will not realize they are being tricked into cheering on the destruction of their own lives and homes. This is like lung cancer, it will not be malignant, it will be terminal, and they can’t stop smoking, because they naively think it relieves their guilt.

Sorry for my rant, I appreciate you, and your contribution to our country as a voice of reason. People like you are the kemo therapy this country needs.
