The recent surge of political and ideological violence in Los Angeles and other parts of America seems less about illegal immigration and more about tapping into emotions to fuel a sizable movement across the nation. This isn’t really about fixing immigration issues; it’s more about an outright dismantling of American society.
We’ve experienced this before, repeatedly.
From 2012 to 2020, people in my community, especially the Black population, were taken advantage of by those same activists to advance their agenda. The deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and George Floyd ignited protests that turned into riots.

Slogans like “Black Lives Matter” echoed through the streets, and speeches addressing systemic racism, white privilege, and mass incarceration were delivered passionately. It was a striking moment.
But as this political fervor expressed itself, my already struggling neighborhood on Chicago’s south side suffered immensely after Floyd’s death.
In fact, the protests only worsened our situation. I found myself organizing transportation for elderly residents to get their medications. We banded together to clean up the shattered glass from local businesses. Some folks stayed indoors out of fear, so they brought food to share, ensuring no one went hungry.
Meanwhile, those leading the protests were inundated with money—a veritable torrent of donations driven by white guilt. They promised it would support those of us on the ground.

Instead, it seemed to fund lavish lifestyles. A white liberal woman preaching about vulnerability, an elite Black professor promoting anti-racism discourse, and nonprofit organizations peddling their diversity agendas thrived. Teacher unions assured their members they are not among the most disadvantaged.
It’s not that I craved “black pain” money; not one cent trickled down to my neighborhood. It has been the most extensive scam I’ve ever witnessed.
America has continued to pay for this ever since. It’s intriguing to see affluent neighbors in the Bay Area rallying for racial and ethnic studies in schools. What surprises me is that some believe the solution involves eliminating honors classes and lowering academic standards.
But what does education really mean in America today?

Again, the driving force behind the political and ideological violence seen in American streets isn’t racism, but liberalism, which has not only devastated my neighborhood but has also fostered a generation reliant on government support. It’s socialism or Marxism, whatever label you prefer.
The turmoil we’re witnessing today in LA and beyond is merely a continuation of this American disintegration. They’re not going to stop, and that’s the reality. We need to open our eyes to this—it’s a test of our resilience as Americans, and they see us as vulnerable. That’s why they engage in street violence with such apparent impunity.

I’ve taken a stand in my neighborhood to break free from these anti-American forces. I don’t take my American identity lightly; when it’s gone, it feels eternal. This belief resonates with my prayers at the Republican National Convention—many among us seem to have forgotten what it truly means to be American.
