Black ppl as a whole don't fukk with immigration like thatAs much as I detest the Republicans, they have done a piss poor job of highlighting how Hispanic rampant illegal immigration hurts Black Americans. Of course they're a full blow nazi party now so won't do anything to help Blacks, but even if for politics sake. They're currently flying these illegals to Democrat cities but that's not enough.
And finish building that fukking wall
Yeah, appears to be more of a concern for cacs and the likes of tariq more.

No, I'm saying the average Black person is not for it, and is not for a Black and Brown coalition
No one even knows who sanctioned this shotgun marriage between Blacks and Latinos..people wake up and find themselves thrust into a partnership they never asked for.
Nothing other than resignation is even remotely acceptable. The two most obvious racist idiots should be ostracized from politics forever, and the other two that tolerated it without pushback should be bushed on principle.
LA City Council president resigns after she was caught on tape calling the Black son of a fellow Democratic politician a 'monkey'

The president of Los Angeles City Council resigned on Monday after leaked audio revealed that she made racist remarks about a fellow Democratic politician's Black son.
Martinez came under heavy criticism after the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday that she made racist comments behind closed doors about Councilman Mike Bonin's son.
In a conversation with other local officials, Martinez described Bonin's son, who is Black, as a "monkey."
The conversation, which was taped and remained private for a while, sparked outrage and calls for Martinez to resign on Sunday, according to the report.
"I take responsibility for what I said and there are no excuses for those comments. I'm so sorry," Nury Martinez said on Monday in a statement obtained by local news station KTLA. "I sincerely apologize to the people I hurt with my words."
However, her statement said she was resigning as president of the council. It's unclear if she's stepping down from her elected position as a city counselor.
Martinez, a 49-year-old Democrat, became the City Council president in 2019 after previously serving as a member of the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education.

What does a "Black and Brown coalition" even mean to you? I only hear those words from people who are trolling on the internet. In real life, Black folk in political organizations partner with whoever is on board with the same main objectives at the time, whether they're black, brown, white, or any other color. In a lot of places the partners are more likely to be brown people than they are to be white people. Doesn't mean you blindly follow someone else's agenda, it means that you reach the 50+% you need to get shyt done by getting other people on your side. Simple math tells you that in all state/federal politics (and a good bit of city politics), there aren't enough Black folk around to go it alone. So you got to partner with someone. Do you prefer black-white coalitions for some reason, or what?
And I'm eternally unsurprised how a few fake black internet militants online claim to know what 45 million other Black folk spread out across the entire country happen to think.
* 70% of Black Americans support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
* Only 14% of Black Americans favor deporting undocumented immigrants back to their home countries.
* 86% of Black Americans oppose Trump's border wall.
In U.S., 65% Favor Path to Citizenship for Illegal Immigrants
Most U.S. adults, 65%, continue to support allowing immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally to remain in the U.S. and become citizens after meeting certain requirements over time. Hispanics are more likely than whites or blacks to favor the plan.

Most Americans continue to oppose U.S. border wall, doubt Mexico would pay for it
More Americans continue to oppose than favor building a wall along the entire U.S. border with Mexico, and 70% think the U.S. would ultimately pay for it.

That's reality. All you have to counter that is conspiracy theories and repeatedly claiming that whatever you think from the 3 people you talk to about this personally is more important than objective reality.

Edit: to clarify, I don't believe stats based on opinions
And I definitely don't believe the average person is altruistic, no matter the race, and is concerned about other groups at the expense of theirs

While calling the kid a monkey is disgusting in of itself the biggest takeaway from this should be what those councilmembers were doing. They were redistricting making sure resources go to their community not people of color communities. This should be the call that ados people get organized and in the room to advocate for our group because that's what these other groups are doing. This people of color stuff is for the cameras it's not how they operate behind the scenes. This is a clear example of it.
