When I first read the article by CityWorldNews, \u201cNative American Council Offers Amnesty to 240 Million Undocumented Whites\u201d, the first thing I thought about was the controversy on immigration now. That article talks about Native Americans offering amnesty to the illegal whites in America. In my head, the article was describing the current ongoing fight of Dreamers to attain citizenship. It is ironic to think that it could have been whites asking for an amnesty, but today it is mainly Hispanics fighting for citizenship; fighting for rights in a country they\u2019ve lived and worked for years. This past week thinking a lot more about colonization, made me realize we\u2019re demanding citizenship from people who originally didn\u2019t own the land, from people who believed their customs and skin color were superior to the indigenous people living here. Today, the fight for an amnesty is much more than obtaining rights, it is also proving to the country that we\u2019re valuable and that our ethnicity doesn\u2019t define our intelligence or work ethic. It is exhausting and frustrating dealing with this struggle, but we will stay determined to soon end the ethnical-race hierarchy that was created years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
