DACA gave her courage to fight anti-immigrant bias and white supremacy
PRI ^ | January 17, 2018 | Kenya Downs

Mwewa Mwange says that she is shy and avoids conversations, too afraid of awkward moments. But ever since she became eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, she slowly came out of her shell.

She is one of almost 700,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children who have DACA, which offers temporary protection from deportation and the opportunity to apply for work permits. But she’s specifically passionate about black immigrants, a demographic she says often gets ignored in immigrant advocacy circles.

“I can step out of this shadow or out of this hiding and be able to tell my story because other people can’t,” she says. “Because in telling my story, other people are finally hearing like, ‘Wait, there’s undocumented black people?’”

“I’m White, and I’ve never mistreated anyone on any racial basis nor advocated for the mistreatment of anyone on any racial basis.
Being cast as an oppressor simply due to being White is a lie.
Being cast as privileged is also a lie, as I have scars to prove the toil it has taken to get anything I’ve ever gotten.”

Dittos to all of that.

In addition, I no longer give a rat’s furry little behind if anyone thinks I’m a white supremacist or an oppressor. If you hate me because I’m white, well, come at me, bro.

DACA also gave numerous gang members the courage to assault, rape, and murder American citizens.

Reconcile these two quotes from the article:

“I can step out of this shadow or out of this hiding and be able to tell my story because other people can’t,” she says.

“Mwange is not her real family name — she asked that we not use her real name because of her immigration status.”

Well Mwewa - Which is it?

You are hiding behind a made up name.
How does that constitute stepping out of the shadows?

It’s Anerican supremacy Miss Mwenge is more opposed to than the vague, nonsensical, politically correct verbiage which is the leftist dog whistle - white supremacy.

If we believe in American Exceptionalism, we are also aligning ourselves with the original intent of the Founders - none of whom were poor black women from shithole countries, but were enlightened and educated white men.

Miss Mwenge will never be an educated and enlightened white man - therefore she hates because she doesn’t know any better.

How can you be that fat and complain about this country? Clearly you're living okay. Look at those big girls in the DACA stories pic. Too young to be that big.

I looked at their faces. Except for the second guy from the left, they have looks of contempt/entitlement on their faces. But yes, they could also have publically televised medical reviews, lol.
