The new movement in our country against immigration is tied to historical racism because whites led them to see it in a way to hate Latin American and whites for the unemployment that was going on. That why I would say that whites wanted to blame it on blacks. But like am saying that even though immigrates was seen as a people to hate on because as much things they couldn’t do or as much things that was happening around the world. There was law such as blacks couldn’t vote or like signs posted around the country or like stores or even school or if u wanted to drink water there where two sign for blacks and whites. Whites had seen blacks in a very different way. The whole debate is about who is an American how American would looking like. The things what blacks would have done and how whites would view them as. In a way that black did care and how blacks took every things serious. Soon they try to learn and come together and try to figure out what was going on. Even though living in American there was still tension going on between immigrates and white. As much laws that where pass and rules they had to find a way out. It was racial immigration that was going on. The kind of myths that was spreading dislikes the blacks and the way how blacks were. But am saying that blacks were the important people and was seen later or as heroes. There were so much that was going on around the world many crimes had been going on such as wars. But in my eyes I can say that whites made us this way. The Facts that was hidden like most likely about people who was important backs in the days as much things blacks invented or as much things blacks did to survive. The true reason that atavists oppose immigration because of everything the blacks tried to do. As much I would say that whites had their own reason why they did oppose blacks but in my mind it was very stupid. But you know things happen for a reason. But later on you look back and are shocked about it because now it made a different.
ReplyDeleteLets keep it one hundred since the day Europeans arrived on North American shores America has been set up for the advancement of white skinned people. When Europeans enter a land they oppress anyone and anything that is not white. For example the Native Americans, we all know they were here first but we killed off generations of their people and robbed them of their land. After that Europeans brought African slaves to America and began farm the land and slowly develop the America the world see’s today. As America developed and grew bigger they needed more slaves so they brought more African slaves here and after a while there was too many blacks to send them all back to Africa so whites are forced to co-exist with the Africans, and how do you control a population you do not want? It is quite simple keep them ignorant and keep them out of positions that hold power. Then you deny them of basic civil rights and liberties and create laws to prevent them from succeeding. Most importantly silence anyone who speaks of unity or rebellion, for example Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr and The Black Panther Party. Keeping this ostracized population unorganized is the key to the prosperity of white people. As America grows richer other people want an opportunity at wealth and power so people from all over the world are now coming to America so how do you ensure that whites remain in power ? Easy, you allow the establishment of groups such as the KKK which preach messages of white supremacy, white nationalism and anti immigration. Then you publish statistics stating that whites will soon become the minority race. This is key to understanding why European immigration is encouraged. Most Europeans are white so by allowing more whites into the country increase the white population , so you don’t want non whites entering the country because you already have too many non-whites. So as history begins to repeats its self whites display their desire for a WHITE ONLY America
