Damn I wish slaves in the u.s. had the option to keep their families together.

You're right; the fight isn't for Hispanics or even immigration. It is for marginalized and underrepresented groups, just like African Americans were. It took hundreds of years, marches, violence, and political ideologies to change for white America actually to take notice. We have people like Malcolm X, who changed his last name because he did not want to have the last name of his colonizers because of them; he couldn't trace his actual lineage, so he chose “X” as his last name. He didn't even get the choice to be proud of his roots and wave the flag of his homeland because enslavers did everything they could to demoralize them and eradicate their culture. It sadly was a reality for another marginalized group, but just because it was done then doesn't mean it is right by any means or takes away from one else's suffering.
