    Maybe “sending” is the wrong word.

    I just think that black Americans have been sacrificed for white lives without the same in return.

    They were often used as human shields in war time. Put in the first line of defense. Or sent in first to battle.

    And here history is repeating; having them take the biggest risks.

    I’d like to know where TF are the white men, the Latino men, , but sadly I already know the answer.

    (Not all, but that’s ice demographics).

    At least this time the black Americans volunteered. And that does count for something. And they have internal leadership, which is also a good thing.

    I just see this group being sacrificed over and over again.

    I’m glad the panthers are organizing. I’m reassured by their presence. I’ll support them in whatever way I can.
