This Appalachia Life: My Mother Wasn't Trash

58. You're evading the question

No one questions whether DREAMERS deserve our support, or, for that matter, whether they should be PART of our showing of support for Spanish-speaking undocumented immigrants. But DREAMERS are a small (and might I mention, most palatable to the white suburbanites we refuse to condemn) slice of the undocumented immigrant community and the remainder of that community, the one composed of just ordinary folks (and the one loathed by white suburbanites) are conspicuously absent when it comes time for us to publicly display whom we support .

As for gun control, let me just say our experiences differ. To the people I grew up with, "gun control" is five years consecutive minimum mandatory when you get called out by some cop for walking down the street with a few rocks in your pocket.

As a matter of policy, gun control is vitally important, but what it has become in practice is just another way to keep us in prison.

Btw I honestly thank you for your response. You know why.
