I am the decedent of slaves.
My Paternal Grandfather two generations removed, James Frost, was born a slave in Tennessee. He moved to Canton, Mississippi and took the name Frost. Of all the people who populate this nation, we are unique. We did not come here by choice. Many of us are connected by blood to the indigenous people who originally lived on this land. The vary idea that we should be compared to those who came to this country for the purposes of exploitation is an insult to our blood.
It is also an insult to our blood that a person should come to this land seeking a “share” of its great wealth. This great wealth, acknowledged around the world, is a consequence of access to cheap labor. People such as myself are the descendants of that cheap labor. The wealth of this nation was purchased with our blood and the sacrifice of our spiritual purity. Any person who seeks to take advantage of the wealth that exists here today must recognize that they are participating in a terrible crime that was perpetrated against humanity.
How can the rulers of this Nation dare to claim the sovereignty over the borders that they have created? Who are they to say where the people of this world can live and where they can go? The immigration debate is a farce. To engage in this debate is to acknowledge the validity of a country that only exists in the minds of the despots who stole it and the slaves who maintain it.
There is no debate. This land does not belong to the people who claim it. This land is a part of something larger than human greed. It is part of the Earth just as we are part of the Earth, and the Earth has it’s own agenda.
Let us hope that humanity will have the sense to give respect to the agenda that rules our existence.
