Anti-immigrant billboard put up in Little Haiti
It may as well have said, “Get Out of Our Country,” because the message is just that clear. A sign recently erected in Little Haiti communicated effectively just how some Americans feel about illegal immigrants.

The struggle for a “new economic order” has always been at the core of African American politics. The abolition of slavery required a new economic order. Jim Crow was an economic – as well as social, political and legal – order; we needed a new one. Those who have always tried to order us around and kick us down are constantly building their own self-serving “orders” – the current regime being a global capitalism managed by home-grown racists armed to the teeth, who harbor a quasi-religious belief that they embody the essence of civilization.
