Politics is an EXCHANGE!!!
With all due respect, the overwhelming narrative on this board has been that somehow the ones who come here and which is even a lower number for the middle class that you mention and literally are a buffer class or are meant to replace AAs and are given all the opportunities/jobs that whites wouldn't give to AAs There was not necessarily a distinction along class lines of the ones (Black immigrants) who are in this country. It was a vast generalization of foreign Blacks (Caribbean or Sub-Saharan African).
I know the East Coast part of the US like the back of my hand (I was born (DC) and have lived and went to HS, undergrad and grad school up and down the east coast where this population is heavily concentrated). I have anecdotes too. I am aware of the Senegalese in Harlem and the Ghanaians in the BX. I have lived in those areas for YEARS. They do not fit the overwhelming narrative of foreign Blacks serving as a buffer class and being white people's favorites vis a vis AAs.

As the black population in the United States grows, the diversity in the black community is unprecedented. According to research by Nielsen, the number of black immigrants in the U.S. has more than doubled since 1980, to a record 3.8 million, accounting for 1 in every 11 blacks. By 2060, 1 out of every 6 U.S. blacks will be immigrants.
People on this board stay talking but do no fukking research.
Project MUSE - Immigration and the Remaking of Black America
Over the last four decades, immigration from the Caribbean and sub-Saharan Africa to the U. S. has increased rapidly. In several states, African immigrants are now major drivers of growth in the black population. While social scientists and commentators have noted that these black immigrants’ social and economic outcomes often differ from those of their native-born counterparts, few studies have carefully analyzed the mechanisms that produce these disparities. In Immigration and the Remaking of Black America, sociologist and demographer Tod Hamilton shows how immigration is reshaping black America. He weaves together interdisciplinary scholarship with new data to enhance our understanding of the causes of socioeconomic stratification among both the native-born and newcomers.
