Homeless advocate and immigration opponent Ted Hayes was assaulted this past Tuesday for spreading his message that illegal immigrants are damaging this country and specifically attacking African-Americans.
The pressure is building up through out the U.S., and no one is getting some sensible dialog going. Seems like the finger pointing is just the surface of much deeper resentments. Al Sharpton feels a need to bring the immigration debate under the civil rights umbrella of causes. Meanwhile it appears there ain't much love for the Latinos from the African American community he leads. The latest stats reflect that Urban America is suffering from violence overload and the tension that the media is so eager to instigate, may be the perfect headline news in the months to come. One question, Where are the community leaders? Or, are they just waiting for the headlines, to get better airtime?
