    Don’t forget: they have done it to us.

      They’re still doing it to us.  The police and walk into your house shoot you dead and it’s still your fault for “having marijuana” in your own home.

      You’re right, of course.

      Racial terrorism is so embedded in our law and culture that it goes unnoticed until someone points it out to us. That’s why The Root is so important because they are here pointing it out day after day.

    These people aren’t American citizens and are attempting to storm the border in a massive 4000 person horde. No country in the history of the world has allowed for this kind of behavior nor should they. Even the most socialist countries in the world do not allow for this behavior.

    I like a welfare support system. I support universal health care. I want social safety nets. These things do not function if open borders exist. Economies are closed system that interact with other systems to create a greater whole. But they must still function as an individual. There isn’t infinite money. Once you start handing out welfare to an endless stream of people... soon there is no more welfare money because the economy does not have infinite money. The same for jobs. It is a very fine balance.

    The people within a country, the citizens, must receive priority first and foremost. The poor people HERE, the sick people HERE, the old people HERE must have priority. Our people in need from all races and backgrounds. Only can THEN we give support to legal immigrants using legal means to enter the country. 4000 person hordes (that are even pissing off Mexican citizens and government) storming the border is not a valid method of entry.

      Welp, then we’ll die with our harvests rotting in the field because this Admin and this Country seems to specifically hate the poor.

      Talk about over-dramatic and missing the point.

      Trump and admin shut down the border, preventing any and all from legally applying for asylum. Instead, the past month they’ve been using Soldiers to barricade the border. They could have instead used that time to try and coordinate administrative folks to process these people in a more orderly and humane fashion. But fuck helping brownies, eh?

      It’s not like the government’s trying to help the POOR, SICK, and OLD regardless of immigrants. That’s just a straw-man.

    I’m glad someone else has finally dropped the T-word. That’s exactly what a modern-day Republican is: a fucking inhumane, sociopathic terrorist. These bunch need to get weeded out of humanity like the cancer they are.

      It is a shame it took this long, and it’s an equal shame it took somebody like RiRi to do it (though obviously I do not begrudge her the privilege to speak her mind, especially since she’s right). We’re not hearing it from Schumer, you know?

      To the grey who just pulled a hard whatabout by bringing up Obama:

      No. Obama didn’t deport this many people, and for not as blatantly racist reasons.

      He also didn’t grin ear-to-ear by seeing kids ripped away from parents or getting pepper sprayed for trying to escape violence in their home countries.

      I know everything is always red vs. blue with you idiot conservatives, but I don’t worship Obama just because he’s a Democrat, like you think all liberals do. He’s a fucking saint though compared to all of the useless pieces of shit in your death cult GOP.

      Kill yourself.

    Note how Infinite Empress Rihanna emphasizes the gravity of the situation and her succinct analysis with the extra spacing between the one word she has written, and the period she uses. Here she is inventing new lines of beauty, and new, subtle uses for punctuation. Anyone else, I would probably call that out as an error, but there is nothing Madam Fenty does without intent. She is a national treasure that must be protected at all costs. Period!

    This isn’t terrorism. It violates a number of laws but agents of the state acting in a way that state has authorized them to act isn’t terrorism. If those militias from Yallqueida heading to the border did this one could easily make the case that it was terrorism.

      State-sponsored terrorism is a thing.

      Don’t miss the point to fixate on semantics.

      It is a thing. This is not that.

      I’m just fixating on the articles support for misapplying an often misused word.

      ? Source? Because I haven’t seen any reports of US Border patrol or the soldiers being assaulted. All I read was people rushing past the Mexican Federal Police to the gate and refusing to disperse.

    This administration will forever be remembered as heartless, the kind of people that give white people a worse name among all the other nations. Its shameful to be an American during these times, the Pos(peice of shit) trump needs “natural causes"
