It is generally accepted that human interactions should be cordial. It is generally accepted that people should help other people. It is generally understood that if you treat someone nicely, they'll treat you the same way. If such facts are generally accepted, then why does the Land of Opportunity turn away prospective hardworking citizens? Why was a whole race forced to submit to tyranny?
A whole caravan of people, escaping gang violence and a crumbling government, are being turned away for what? Some claim that they take jobs away from hardworking Americans. This can't be true because they only do jobs that "hardworking" Americans won't do. The POTUS claimed that terrorists are mixed in with the caravan and are hoping to slip into the U.S. unnoticed. This claim was widely refuted by many news sources and even some of the caravan members themselves.
Even after Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. African Americans were still treated with disdain and disgust. The Jim Crow laws in the South made it so that slavery might as well have not been banned. Segregation caused the deaths of a great many blacks. The Song of Solomon shows us how blacks tried to fight back against white oppression, with largely unsuccessful results.
