"Pardon me, ladies and gentlemen, but I’m not exactly in a celebratory mood this Juneteenth (weekend). What I’m actually feeling is a desperate need to raise my voice in protest and to provoke all of you to think deeply about what is happening in our country.
(. . .)
Consider the asylum protection orders for Haitians, Cubans, Venezuelans, and other nationalities who are people of color being rescinded. However, the United States of America seems very eager to admit White South Africans. Have we forgotten about the scourge of Apartheid in South Africa? I suppose if Elon Musk says it’s ok, everything must be alright. But it’s not! Can I ask why our Sudanese sisters and brothers in Africa who are suffering horribly in the midst of civil war and famine are not being offered a safe haven here in America like their White South African counterparts are? I’ll tell you why. It’s because THEIR SKIN IS BLACK and they are unworthy of any empathy or compassion from the current U.S. administration in Washington, D.C."
