I haven’t really seen a lot of discussion where they aren’t believed. Most people I see are just waiting to let this thing shake out.

“But maybe just this one time, we can embargo that always believe women thing, because keeping Virginia blue is more important”

I mean if you want to say the Koch Brothers or the Mercers are paying her....

Harlem today has changed, sure. The astronomical rents of “Money Makin’ Manhattan” have driven many of its inhabitants further north to the Bronx, or even out of its confines. It is openly very queer. Very (West) African. Very gentrified. And so it morphs into our future. It evolves as any living thing does. But its…

I agree. My parents were immigrants from Haiti and came here legally by plane. Notice I add “by plane” because African Americans liked to call us BOATS or RAFT RIDERS. In South Florida especially in the early 2000's African American students would bully the Haitians, burn their flag on Haitian independence day, jump…

I went to college in Nashville. From the people I knew it was initially driven by the colleges but as time went on people started bringing their families over. They may not be volunteering their info to the census as the people I knew didn’t trust it. As you can assume back then (late 90's early 2000's) the existing…

DC has had a significant Ethiopian and Eritrean population but within. the last decade the DMV African population has exploded. It’s fantastic.

London has higher murder rates than New York now.

Couple of kids did die in those camps and the number of kids in those camps is way higher than admitted, and a huge portion of those kids will never see their parents again and will be adopted out to some random family and raised without the knowledge of who they are or where they came from.

The Gestapo operated under the Nacht und Nebel directive after 1941, which allowed them to dispose of political activists and resistance members without evidence (over half of Gestapo investigations were apparently begun by citizen denunciations, or ‘people talking shit’) or so much as reporting it to the family…

bizarre case. Well, we’ll see what happens, hopefully he’ll find some way to get legal assistance. On another level, I hope that this serves as a wake up call for any African-Americans who may have been casually (or even toxically) dismissive of the national immigration debate, based on the premise that it only…

“Exact origins” as a question on the census? What the everloving belguim is that nonsense? Are they asking people to list their family tree? This sounds incredibly like some racial phrenology theories mixed in with a dose of “no, where are you really from?”

This same issue plagues Latino home births in Texas--the birth certificates in some cases are being declared as incorrect or illegal and those children then face deportation hearings. 

There is an entire office complex in Reston Virginia devoted to sifting through all kinds of commercial databases and cross-referencing immigration data against it, in order to find “needles in a haystack” looking for any pretext to detain and deport anyone who is not a natural born citizen.

I know with my own grandma, she had to legally chance her name in her 40s because she wanted a passport, and the name she thought was hers was different then what was on her birth certificate, and I can trace her back to the plantations in the South where her ancestors were born.

Yvette doesn’t think that all Immigrants are out to screw over ADOS or that they are all super privileged. Her point is that ADOS are first and foremost American, yes we are lumped into a group of Immigrants that we’re not. There is no homeland for us to go back to. We deserve the rights allotted to American’s, she…

This absolutely targeted. This is purely vindictive and vengeful.

To clairify U Visas are for crime victims, Snitch visas are, perhaps ironically, S Visas. 

21 Savage is famous, successful and rich. He “pulled himself up,” he’s what politicians want to point to when they say the American Dream can happen. He contributes to the economy, he pays taxes, he donates to local charities, and he buys lots of shit. He should, in all respects, be a model for what anyone would want…

I have assisted people in applying for U-Visas. Some of what you say is factually incorrect and some of it is misleading. First, being the victim of “simple assault” could be sufficient. The people I have worked with are the victims of domestic violence. Second, the US has approved issuance of 10,000 U-Visas per year.…
