Where I'm from that is so evident. As a matter of fact immigrants from all over would come to my former state, leaving behind loved ones in their home country, work 2-3 jobs and send back monies to their families. I would read articles in the local paper, there with the immigrant family stating how much they missed thier family but for the sake of their family, they had to sacarifice and go where they could provide a better life for all. Ironically for them it is here in amerikkka, since amerikkka's policies in their homeland is what caused the economic, cultural strife.

We need to take on a simular mindset- only that the better life awaits us in the motherland, AFRICA!!! Yes we will encounter hardships much like the immigrants that come to this country endure. Who said it would be an easy cake walk? I wholeheartedly believe that we as a collective will have to give up the notion of ever being "equal" here in amerikkka and face the fact that it is unachievable here.

Here in amerikkka,
No matter how much money we have we will never been seen as equal.
No matter how much education we have we will never be seen as equal.
No matter how much land we have we will never be seen as equal.
No matter how much the courts pass judgements we will never be seen as equal.
No matter how much congress legislates equality we will never be seen as equal.
I will not even bother mentioning the president. We're refugees according to him.

When will we get it that the country holds no future for us?
