To be fair FBA from Los Angeles were doing the same thing to other FBA in smaller towns during that time period …Imagine if we had a FBA movement back then and got those tethers before they could reek havoc
From 1985 to 1989 the FBI blamed Jamaican gangs with over 1400 homicides

Tariq was right these tethers are the ones committing these crimes
ADOS lady in the blue dress was holding it down.ADOS interviewer: Okay now let me ask you let me ask you would you have would you have come forth had not the media so-called sensationalized the involvement of Jamaicans in the crime crime activity or drug activity
Jamaican leader/ rep: The United States has declared a War on Drugs. The United States has more resources than Jamaica and anybody else to fight this problem. We are supportive of anybody who is fighting the drug problem. There was no need for us to come for we are on record of saying we are opposed we we have come forth and we have always been opposed to the drug trade. We have come forth to speak against the generalizations which have been put forward to make it appear that all Jamaicans and Caribbean peoples
ADOS interviewer: What percentage do you believe that the Jamaican Community is involved in drug trafficking in uh the the the United States or in the Baltimore Washington area?
Jamaican leader/ rep: Probably less than 5%.
ADOS interviewer: But the statistics do not bear that out where are the statistics that show that greater than 5% of the Jamaican immigrants involved in drugs and let me point this out, but the statistics that we have gotten from T and DEA indicate that the arrests and the murders involving Jamaicans in the crime activity and drug activity is nearing 30%
What does that have to do with crips and bloods going to smaller black towns(like Little Rock Arkansas) and making them adapt gang culture killing each other over colors ?

Ww interviewer: One thing that will help an officer is to carry on a casual conversation, even about something as innocent as local sports [ or, 'Americana,' as @LastSecondRuger mentioned in his recent thread].
White cop: Several instances where Jamaicans have been brought coming into the country, legally or illegally, they've been finding they have 'crib notes' on them. Sheets of paper that would list, in NY, that the local team was the New York Yankees, the New York Mets. However, like anybody who's preparing for a test that doesn't' really know the material, they'll make mistakes during casual conversation."
Later in the interview they refuted her numbers but the point still stands it was as problem.
everybody knows this. when my granny speaks of “classic” harlem. when it was super safe and super friendly and family oriented.
it was before the immigrants came
it’s not a coincidence that the drugs in our communities, baby mama culture in our communities, etc etc all coincide with the immigration act
especially baby mama culture
