Book Description from Amazon:
“Almost All Aliens offers a unique reinterpretation of immigration in the history of the United States. Leaving behind the traditional melting-pot model of immigrant assimilation, Paul Spickard puts forward a fresh and provocative reconceptualization that embraces the multicultural reality of immigration that has always existed in the United States. His astute study illustrates the complex relationship between ethnic identity and race, slavery, and colonial expansion. Examining not only the lives of those who crossed the Atlantic, but also those who crossed the Pacific, the Caribbean, and the North American Borderlands, Almost All Aliens provides a distinct, inclusive analysis of immigration and identity in the United States from 1600 until the present.”

CNN tries to twist this story and make it about the screaming child.
This story is about a young white girl who thinks she has the right to tell another adult how to deal with their child, and who thinks she can tell another adult to ‘go to hell’ and not get a beat down.
PS – the oppressor is the White woman who thinks she can talk down to another mom. The beat down is instant justice.
