Coretta Scott King was against illegal immigration because she saw it hurt black labor

[Robbie3000]

In Plessy v Ferguson when blacks were working as Train Porters...not the most glamorous job, but a significant job with union leverage in the country at the time.

Do you think illegals should have been doing that job?

Lets kick out all the illegals so blacks can go back to cleaning toilets, picking fruit and generally being the permanent underclass in this country.

What a glorious future.

You are not answering my question so I’ll make it clear.

Even in times of low immigration, blacks were still working the shyttiest jobs and the income and wealth was always well below that of whites. The unemployment rate for blacks is always double that of whites despite the health of the economy or level of immigration.

Seems to me the only real constant is white racism.

Again, the problem with mass immigration is that Blacks can't even get the low paying jobs at that point, which is why millions of us were able to get bad jobs and parlayed those into middle class jobs in the 1950s after we limited immigration after World War I.

The Great Migration doesn't happen with millions of Blacks being able to get jobs up north without limiting immigration

AAME :

The Great Migration
Overview
In the spring of 1916, the attention of the American press and public was focused on the Great War in Europe. Few noticed the tiny stream of Southern black men brought north by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to work on the rail lines. But following this experiment between 1916 and 1918 alone, nearly 400,000 African Americans - five hundred each day - took what they hoped was a journey into freedom.

The migration was a watershed in the history of African Americans. It lessened their overwhelming concentration in the South, opened up industrial jobs to people who had up to then been mostly farmers, and gave the first significant impetus to their urbanization.

In 1910, seven million of the nation's eight million African Americans resided below the Cotton Curtain. But over the next fifteen years, more than one-tenth of the country's black population would voluntarily move north. The Great Migration, which lasted until 1930, was the first step in the full nationalization of the African-American population.

Leaving the South
Several factors precipitated one of the largest population shifts in the country's history. In 1898 the tiny boll weevil invaded Texas and proceeded to eat its way east across the South. Crops were devastated, thousands of agricultural workers thrown off the land, and the long reign of King Cotton as the region's economic backbone was finally brought to an end.

Even more important was World War I. Its onset in Europe, in 1914, brought a halt - within three years - to the massive immigration of European industrial workers which had been going on for some sixty years. By 1900 more than a million were settling in the United States each year.


Although the country did not enter the conflict until 1917, it had been supplying the European combatants since hostilities began. The cessation of immigration resulted in an acute labor shortage at a time when workers were needed to gear up the arms and war-supplies industries. The war created an economic boom, and an alternative supply of labor was needed to meet the increased demand. The South, with its surplus of workers resulting from agricultural disaster and chronic underdevelopment, clearly fit the bill.

The region in 1916 suffered not only from underdevelopment, but also from isolation. Its separation from mainstream America was the result of unique historical factors: the institution of slavery, its slow recovery from the devastating Civil War, and its overreliance on cotton as the region's economic engine. The South was behind the rest of the country at the start of Reconstruction, and its disadvantage only grew over time. It had fewer schools, lower literacy levels, and poorer basic services. The rural areas had slow and inadequate communication with the outside world. In comparison to their counterparts in the Northeast and Midwest, southern workers were grossly underpaid; their wages no more than two-thirds of those paid elsewhere in the country. Indeed, the region was more of a colony exporting raw materials than an equal trading partner to the more economically advanced North. Large numbers of skilled workers, white and black, were trapped.

In addition, the political and social climate was deteriorating. Between 1890 and 1910, most African Americans in the South had lost the right to vote through restrictive requirements such as property qualifications, poll taxes, literacy tests, and the "grandfather clause" that limited the vote to those whose grandfathers were registered voters, thus disqualifying blacks who had gotten the franchise only with the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870. The tightening of Jim Crow laws led many to leave the South, as illustrated in Alabamian Charles "Cow Cow" Davenport's Jim Crow Blues: I'm tired of being Jim Crowed, gonna leave this Jim Crow town, Doggone my black soul, I'm sweet Chicago bound, Yes, Sir, I'm leavin' here, from this ole Jim Crow town. I'm going up North, where they think money grows on trees, I don't give a doggone, if ma black soul should freeze I'm goin' where I don't need no B.V.D.s.

Intimidation and outright violence were also used not only to disenfranchise the black community, but also to control and terrorize it. At least two to three people were lynched every week. Although lynching had been used for decades, it evolved in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, becoming more sadistic and exhibitionist. People were horribly tortured and mutilated for hours in front of huge crowds that included women and children.

Though economic, social, environmental, and political forces were crucial to the migration, so too was the indomitable will of the African-American migrants, their burning desire to control their own destinies. The decision to pull up one's long planted roots and journey into the unknown is not easily made. For southern migrants, it was a balancing act. Serious questions had to be answered: How bad is it here? How good is it there? Who in the family will make the journey? How will those left behind be cared for? How much will it cost? Where will I live?

Btw, Sanders has once again reminded everyone that he's against open borders. Just putting that out there.

Bernie Sanders Reminds Voters That He Is Absolutely Against Open Borders
"If your point is, open the borders, my god, there's a lot of poverty in this world and you're going to have people from all over."

Same as he's been saying since back in the day:

Have more honest legal jobs available to you as a legal citizen or continue to destroy the communities with drugs, and violence

People still treat legal immigrants of colour as if they were illegals.

This thread stinks. Nobody is for illegal immigration, but super progressives who really just want them to become blue voters.

 

[saturn7]

Tired of your shyt.




Trying to be on all sides, but makes snarky remarks at the posters who have consistently called out both political parties for their anti-ADOS bullshyt.

Problem is, even that's not working

Trump racked up with Latinos.

Did better with them than any Republican president in 60 years because a lot of them motherfukkers think they're White

Liberals are so fukking dumb

It’s not even only cause they think their white. The corruption of Trump doesn’t phase them because they are used to that type of shyt in their countries. So that’s like a double whammy.
