illegal aliens?

"Black and brown people from around the world have bought into the american good-life lie and as a consequence many spend sleepless nights trying to get into this country. often at great expense to them and their families. the cruel irony is that for every dissatisfied Black (born in america) in the labor force there are 3 to 4 Black and latino aliens (and some whites) here and elsewhere willing to step in and fill their position. thus, the contradiction is that the people who have little and should be partners in the struggle against evil often end up killing each other for small and insignificant openings into the evil megalopolis. one must not minimize the attractiveness of america to many of the world's people.

as Black people try to bring revolutionary change to the united states others in the hundreds of thousands are trying to get into america and maintain it as it is -- this is the most dangerous contradiction. Black people often end up fighting on two fronts."
