“From my experience, any piece of immigration reform that does not take into account and is not deeply influenced by, edified and informed by the black experience is worthless.  We cannot forget our nation’s past and our nation’s crimes and our nation’s sins, if we want to move forward in any way as a country and as a brotherhood.  And any immigrant that wants to be an American and is not informed by the black experience and does not understand the deep tragedy, and the deep result that emerged from the legacy of slavery in this country,  is not fully informed of what America is.”
