In 1921 Black Wall Street they were deprived of their resources just as DACA Recipients are being deprived of their rights.

How many of you have heard of the community called Black Wall street? In 1921 in the City of Tulsa Oklahoma there was an all black community in a section of Tulsa Oklahoma called Greenwood. Greenwood became known as Black Wall street, because this all Black community that spanned 35 City blocks was a commodity in and of itself. From 1898 till 1922 was the height of the era of the Ku Klux Klan in America, more statues of fallen Southern Civil War Generals were erected during this period to let blacks know that White Supremacy was still alive in spite of the South losing the Civil War. Well in Tulsa OK. in the community of Greenwood, which came to be known as Black Wall Street African American’s were forced to do business with each other and in that 35 Block community Blacks did business with each other, and made sure that every dollar spent in the community was spent 50 times over before that dollar left that community known as Black Wall Street. The Blacks in that community were so prosperous that they had indoor plumbing in their homes which was practically unheard of in all White neighborhoods at that time. These Blacks were living in conditions that were more advanced than most of their White counterparts and didn’t even know that they were living better than most Whites. Well the Whites in Tulsa Oklahoma found out that these Blacks were living better than they were, and were pissed off about it. So, they made up a story that a young Black man pushed a White lady in an elevator in another area of town, and the Whites converged on the Community of Greenwood and Burnt it to the ground, killing 300 hundred blacks in the process. This event was one of many that led to our modern-day institutionalized racism in depriving Blacks of the resources that they had to make their communities profitable. When President Obama brought into law the DACA Program, (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) The Children of illegal immigrants that came to this country with no choice of their own by their parents. Obama instituted this in order to give these Children a way to stay and not be deported as illegal immigrants when it wasn’t their fault. DACA recipients have to register every two years and pay a fee of $495. They must be free of having a criminal record to remain a DACA recipient, they must remain gainfully employed or be a student in high school or College. Now under these rules what it done was it made these DACA recipient more compliant and zest in getting an education and getting a job. So, if you’re forced to go to college and get an education to remain here, you are put in a situation that you have to do well. So, the effect of DACA spawned these Dreamers that are well-educated and employed because the requirements for them to remain here were of such that they had no choice. These DACA recipients, most are well educated and work for high-tech companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple, and Yahoo, and Facebook with starting salaries of $87,000 to $120,000 a year. CEO’s at Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Yahoo are totally against Donald Trump rescinding the DACA Program, because they would potentially be loosing some of their best workers. The lie that these companies are using DACA recipients for cheep labor is just another lie when you look at the starting Salaries. It is also a lie that these Children are taking jobs from American’s. They were hired by these high tech companies because they were qualified to do the work. These DACA recipients were put in a position that they had to learn and be productive to stay in this country, and they pasted the test. Now those that want these DACA recipients out are using once again institutionalized racism to deprive them of their resources, because of jealousy once again, just as they did to those blacks that lived in Tulsa OK. in the community of Greenwood known as Black Wall Street.
