Suppose a client walked into my office and told me that police officers in his country had choked a man to death over a petty crime. Suppose he said police fatally shot another man in the back as he ran away. That they arrested a woman during a traffic stop and placed her in jail, where she died three days later. That a 12-year-old boy in his country was shot and killed by the police as he played in the park.
Suppose he told me that all of those victims were from the same ethnic community a community whose members fear being harmed, tortured or killed by police or prison guards. And that this is true in cities and towns across his nation. At that point, as an immigration lawyer, Id tell him he had a strong claim for asylum protection under U.S. law.
What if, next, he told me he was from America? Black people in the United States face such racial violence that they could qualify as refugees.
Over the past decade, Ive represented and advised hundreds of noncitizens facing deportation. Many feared persecution in their home countries and sought protection in the United States....

In fact--the word "refugee" originally indicated Huguenots fleeing religious persecution in France! These people are definitely refugees!
Yes.
“Definitely,” as White Rabbit Girl says in THE MATRIX
They are refugees from the utter, near-total devastion and persecution enforced agains them by Lyndon Baines Johnson and his War on Poverty (and the black family).
Here is what LBJ stated: Lyndon Baines Johnson 1963... “These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference... I’ll have them niggers voting Democratic for the next two hundred years”.
Johnson of course was a Reagan Republican, voted for Reagan nine times, and was an avid listener to Rush Limbaugh. He also supported Trump’s Presidential run, and was dating/mentoring Anne Coulter at the time. If not for FOX News (before it turned LEFT), LBJ would never have had enough support to help elect the former KKK Grand Master to the Senate.
Every good Republican misses LBJ to this day....
There was a time when bank robbery was just a state crime. You rob a bank and quickly seek refuge by crossing the state line where no out-of-state lawman could touch you.
Tell the whole story for once, Raha. Oh, that's right...this is the ComPost.
And Muhammad Ali once said "Thank God my Granddaddy got on that boat!"
96 + 12 + 3 = 111
The one coming here or the ones that left?
It should have said 1% black. My big dumbass country boy paws.
Interesting, Thanks.
Ali was talking about his slave ancestors.
