Radio BC: Immigrant Militancy, Black Malaise

I still believe this is a factor – but then we witnessed the glorious turnout among immigrants, a high proportion of whom were liable for deportation should they fall into police hands during a confrontation. Yet they still marched, and chanted, and nobody covered their faces. It has been suggested that the demonstrations were so large and enthusiastic because the immigrant community is desperate, wracked with fear of the Republican’s draconian immigration bill. But that doesn’t explain it. Fear paralyzes, or causes the person to flee, to hide. There has been no evidence of paralysis among the immigrants. There they were, moving steadily forward, hundreds of thousands in plain sight.
