Africa

How do people from Sub Sahara Africa make their way to the US southern border. Social media tells them to fly to Nicaragua and then travel though 500 miles of jungle in Honduras and Guatemala to the Mexican/US border and then another 2,000 miles across Mexico which is mostly desert to El Paso, TX. These are Black Africans who have left their homes and used up their life's savings to make this treacherous journey to come to the United States. The same United States that is afflicted with systemic racism. Where Black American citizens kneel during the Anthem to demonstrate the unfair way they are treated. Where the police attack Black citizens just because they are Black. Where Black wages are lower than Whites and Black students perform more poorly than Whites. Where Blacks are disproportionately found in prisons. While the US has a long way to go to overcome racism the country has made great progress and these new migrants recognize that, something that many Black citizens do not understand.
