		<description><![CDATA[I guess I am confused why the working class would only make sense if they were black.  In today&#039;s economy the working class is a melting pot of colors. Our communities are diverse.  
Metro Detroit houses many immigrants from across the globe.  We have a very large Polish and Eastern European population as well. I think color has nothing to do with getting the point across.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think graffiti can help spread the message, but to solve these problems we need to educate the people.

Many Americans believe they have a right to a first-world standard of living. That&#039;s the &quot;take our jobs&quot; argument you hear in the media. They are wrong. The comfortable lives we lead here in America are built on the backs of those in the third-world. History calls this process &quot;colonization.&quot; Today, our companies control the third-world. They exploit the people there as a cheap source of labor, and control their natural resources in the name of profits. Third-world governments don&#039;t protect their people from this, using the situation to make money instead. As a result people risk their lives to come here and work jobs that many Americans wouldn&#039;t even want. So you see, the first-world created this problem.

The common anti-immigrant attitudes are nothing but classism and racism. Most Americans who hold these beliefs don&#039;t even realize this because they don&#039;t understand the issue. I&#039;ve changed many peoples minds on the issue just by putting things in perspective. Spray paint can send a message, but only education can change minds.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why does the skin color or background of the person holding the sign even matter? Immigrants can be of any race. The point is that immigrant rights are a subset of civil rights, which are rights reserved for everyone. Thus, people who would say &quot;I don&#039;t care about immigrant rights because I&#039;m not an immigrant&quot; should wake up and realize we&#039;re all the same regardless of where we come from.]]></description>
