(129,027 posts)Welcome to the American way. Where millions of us were dragged here and objectified into commodities that were to be bought and sold and dehumanized for financial gain. And even today, we are considered animals to be petted, scolded, disciplined, hunted, and shot on sight like wild game. When you are a minority in the country to which you were born (which you weren't), there's a whole different dynamic.
The "problems" are NOT the "least". It is a part of the issue of the American definition and cultural manifestation of "race" and "superiority", which have been going on for centuries - the hourly, daily, monthly, yearly, and generational indignities. A President "who cares about working class people" is irrelevant when you are the wrong color because they treat the least among us and the greatest among us, the same way - as chattel and non-human.
