Know your history and where you’re from, know your history to make your lineage one, know your history for the time has passed, know your history to avoid systems of caste, Immigration has a history that stems from the Mayflower to Ellis Island, the story here is lined with promises of equality and wins, but what about the history that happened before then, the story of the Native Savage or the Middle Passage, the genocide of the Indigenous Holy Land, or the exploitation of the Mother Land, know your history so you my grow. Listen as Harriet Jacobs is about to disrupt your history, we just thought you should know:

Read an exert from Harriet Jacobs book – Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (Quotes are from the beginning of Chapter 4 the first 9 paragraphs, pages 458-9 of "The Classic Slave Narratives", edited by Henry Louis Gates Jr.

These forgotten narratives of chattel slavery are critical to the current understanding of immigration law and policy – it offers the possibility of being able to connect the inherent similarities between the notion of a permanent, quasi-citizen underclass and white privilege

Several questions, both…reconstruction of the American narrative as a whole.

To rewrite immigration history with the inclusion of slavery helps to deconstruct white supremacy. And we must focus on a critique of white supremacy to understand the way that it regulates our actions and produces institutions and procedures that perpetuate inequality – refusal to acknowledge this apparatus of domination ensures a continuation of the SQUO

Bringing chattel slavery’s forced…and that of whites, blacks and every shade in between.

And not only is the broader political, cultural and socio-economic context in which we interact White Supremacist, but also the debate community. The lesser evils of demographics, funding and terminology are all a part of the atmosphere of privilege. The question is what are we going to do with them in face of the larger problems arguing about war, peace, life and death from a distance as a game.

Given my mediocre grades and subpar…Lucky for me, in other words, that I was white.

Any attempt to deconstruct power relations without placing the black body at the center fails to explain the surplus examples of exclusive policies of materiality within the context of the black body – instead it allows for the continuation of anti-black politics and white supremacist institutions

This ipso facto deputization…textual practice with a his­torical scandal.
