Ever since you began exposing yourselves like drunken flashers in Central Park, we blacks have experienced en masse that sensation of genuine empathy from decent white folk who honestly had no clue that you still exist, have all of your teeth, and aren't married to your cousin-uncle.

Black women are fierce in our own right, but we're still a political, social, and economic minority. As are black men, Latinos, LGBTQI-Americans, and children. When it comes to making changes in America, the minority quest for equality has always been treacherous due to being out-numbered and out-gunned.

Cue white women.

I've noticed that the overwhelming majority of people who are vitriolic about illegal immigration are also vitriolic about welfare and unemployment, and I believe I know why.

When talking about illegal immigration, the implicit (and often explicit) argument is that for every illegal immigrant with a job, some American who wants a job can't find one. Even when the words are not so precise, the meaning is clear: some Americans will remain unemployed until we remove illegal immigrants from those positions.

This clear and direct impact on Americans must - by necessity - pit the needs of Americans against the needs of illegal immigrants. And since it is "us vs. them", we must choose "us." It is our only chance of survival.
