How can I reblog this a million times?  The 1% are master manipulators.

The existence of another poor person is not why you’re poor.

Hell, even if undocumented immigrants were able to utilize the social safety net, they should be welcomed and cared for, not demonized and used a political pawns.

Pure Ignorance.

Thats 1995 stats its at least doubled now so thats around 3 billion a year to illegals through anchor babies and fraud.
You think this world is black and white? its not.
There’s a HUGE difference between legal and illegal immigrants. The biggest being that drug lords use illegals as mule to bring guns and drugs in. If the illegals cant pay then they are sold.
So you not caring about illegals coming into this country means you are for sex trafficking and slavery. Good job.

Matt Damon reads from Howard Zinn’s speech “The Problem is Civil Obedience” (November 1970) from Voices of a People’s History on Vimeo.

Matt Damon, a lifelong friend of Howard Zinn and his family, read excerpts from a speech Howard Zinn gave in 1970 as part of a debate on civil disobedience.

This performance was part of “The People Speak, Live!” with Matt Damon and Lupe Fiasco at the Metro in Chicago, on January 31, 2012, produced by Voices of a People’s History (peopleshistory.us) in collaboration with Louder Than a Bomb: The Chicago Youth Poetry Festival.

Here’s what Howard Zinn writes about this speech in his introduction to the full piece in his book Voices of a People’s History of the United States, written with Anthony Arnove and first published in 2004 by Seven Stories Press:

“In November 1970, after my arrest along with others who had engaged in a Boston protest at an army base to block soldiers from being sent to Vietnam, I flew to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore to take part in a debate with the philosopher Charles Frankel on civil disobedience. I was supposed to appear in court that day in connection with the charges resulting from the army base protest. I had a choice: show up in court and miss this opportunity to explain — and practice — my commitment to civil disobedience, or face the consequences of defying the court order by going to Baltimore. I chose to go. The next day, when I returned to Boston, I went to teach my morning class at Boston University. Two detectives were waiting outside the classroom and hauled me off to court, where I was sentenced to a few days in jail. Here is the text of my speech that night at Johns Hopkins.”

UN Asks US to Review Trayvon Martin Case

fuckyeahmarxismleninism:

United Nations, Sep 3 (Prensa Latina) - The United Nations is urging the United States to examine its discriminatory laws against the African-American population in that country and review the case of Trayvon Martin, murdered in Florida.

The UN is demanding a swift conclusion to an analysis of the trial that ended up absolving the self-styled security guard George Zimmerman in his cold-blooded murder of the 17 year-old Martin in February, 2012.

The appeal was lodged in Geneva by Verene Shepherd, head of the UN working group dedicated to African descendants, and UN Special Narrator Regarding Racism, Mutuma Ruteere.

“We have asked the US government to guarantee that its laws correspond with international legal obligations,” emphasized the specialists of this world body.

They also recalled that United States is a signatory to the international conventions on civil and political rights as well as the elimination of racial discrimination and other related agreements.

They also stressed that the case of Martin proved that African-Americans in the US face increased racial discrimination.

Was there a non-us citizen involved? No! Ok then fuck you UN!
