In reference to what Ernest Edwards said below:

Polack Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

noun Po· lack ˈpō-ˌläk -ˌlak offensiveused as an insulting and contemptuous term for a person of Polish birth or descent

I have no idea what it is like to be a Black person in the United States. I do, however know what it is like to be hated, abused, beaten, and marginalized on the most personal level for a heritage I did not create. I also know from my Black friends the abuse they go through nearly every day.

Every person in America is from immigrant ancestry, even the Native Americans. White supremacy is a disease, of course, but knowing this is not enough to stop its spread and its ruination of lives.

America is for all people and yet there is an embolden group of racists who want to have it all, control it all, and define it all in their terms. They play a game of divide and conquer so that one minority will become hostile to another and we cannot band together. Are we going to be tricked into this or stand together?
