EP5: Haitian Refugees Treated Like Criminals by White Supremacists


Listen Later

I was completely disturbed when I logged into Instagram and saw images and videos of Border Patrol Agents on horsebacks, whipping and chasing Haitian Refugees into the Rio Grande River in Del Rio, Texas. 

Instead of being met with aid and assistance, they were met with aggression and hate. 

In this episode, I talk about the disturbing history of America and how Haitians deserve more respect! #1804 

It seems America only helps when it benefits them. Afghanistan Refugees were approved to come to America to seek asylum, yet Haitians families were deported by the thousands on back-to-back flights with no care in the world for their safety or well-being. 

Also - when it comes to people of color in this country, it seems we are always met with violence first, questions later. 

Quite frankly, the entire history of White Supremacy in America has always been violent, especially towards people of color. 

I am angry. I am disappointed in the Biden Administration & enough is enough. 

Prayers up for all the refugees seeking a better life for their families, it could've been me.
