Beyond the Blindfold: Why an Injury to One Is an Injury to All

We have to clear out the people who are further dividing this country for political gain while calling it "making America great." Power concedes nothing without a demand, and our vote and our collective organizing are our demands. We have to stop letting politicians and this Supreme Court divide the Black community by separating "native-born" issues from "immigrant" issues. Take off your blindfolds and join the fight to remove power from undeserving people. An injury to one of us is an injury to all of us. For the folks who want to stand on the pulpit on Sunday and support policies that tear families apart on Monday, let me remind you of the Word. The Bible mentions the treatment of immigrants and strangers over thirty times. God looked at His own chosen people and said, "Don't you dare mistreat the outsider, because you were once immigrants in the land of Egypt." If you want to get real technical about who "belongs" here, Leviticus 25 tells us that the land belongs to God, and we are all just temporary residents and strangers passing through.
