No change til we take over our areas. Then we can mount effective change.

But these brothers right here want change and need us.

the least we could do is get the word out......right?

They can't effect anything until we control our areas and change things.

You mean the same way black dudes from the hood bully African kids from the suburbs then complain once these African doctors don't want to build with them later in life . You really think that some black kid form the burbs that got hounded by hood brehs is going to build with the hood brehs later in life .

They do the same shyt to AAs from the burbs

Hence why I said "black kids from the burbs".

Africans are not viewed as black. A lot of black people are unwilling to admit that Africans have since joined that model minority fraternity.

Lies

Mexicans heavy on the family shyt

Literally will be 15 people living under one roof pooling they bread together to make sure the next generation is taken care of.

Also Mexicans don’t turn they nose up at traditional blue collar jobs like the modern black community does. Everything is college college college in most black families. I’m in a construction union and them Mexicans straight eating off this union bread @Luck

Note:

People need to understaand that black people are the reason America is still together. Europe was a region filled with ethnic conflict. There's this myth that white people all got along under the banner of whiteness and accepted each other's culture. When immigrants first came to the US. Only British people were wanted...why? Because the people in charge knew that people coming over would bring their animosity over.
Protestants vs Catholics, french vs British, Russians vs Ukrainians, Italians vs Greeks etc. So they restricted immigration. The numbers needed to be up though so slowly the rules were relaxed.

Each time the rules were relaxed more tension built, so then to keep the country from turning into Europe number 2, they decided to invent the idea of whiteness. You're not Irish anymore you're not Jewish anymore you're a white American. America is your fresh start and you're entitled to opportunity as a white man.

Each time these new immigrants came over they'd use black people as the standard to measure themselves again. "We work hard unlike the blacks"
"We don't get in trouble like the blacks do"

They'd prove themselves by comparing themselves to black people and saying they're better. They would be presented opportunity, the chance to buy homes and pass down their wealth to younger generations. Black people had to deal with slavery, then redlining and Jim Crow. The means to build family wealth were kept from black americans while people considered white were allowed to buy homes, get good loans and investments and build generational wealth.

Black families meanwhile were stuck in average quality housing that started to fall apart. We weren't able to afford renovations for removing the lead paint or asbestos in a lot of the buildings we lived in. So then a lot of black children grew up with all sorts of chemicals in their system that affected their mental and physical health. Some of these cats Wilding in the streets are literally mentally ill because of the poisons in their poorly maintained neighborhoods.

It's not that black people aren't working hard or getting educated, the means to advance were locked away from us and we still get denied for loans, jobs, colleges, and aren't shown homes in decent neighborhoods. When we do get into a nice neighborhood they want us to c00n it up and if enough of us start to move in they start to leave.

Now this brings us to the newest waves of migrants. East Asians and Latinos. They come in here and immediately see what the pecking order is and then begin to distance themselves from black people and use us as the standard they can measure themselves against. And slowly but surely they are now becoming more accepted by white society and being given more opportunities. It's not that black people don't work hard, we've literally been denied the means to build wealth and move up.

If black people were not fukked with everytime we tried to build something for ourselves, and we couldn't be used as a scapegoat, all the tensions between these white groups would boil over and they'd be at each others throats. As long they have us to hate on, they can rally together. What we need to do is focus 100% on our communities. People who wanna cape for Latinos are playing themselves. They don't give a shyt about you, nobody else does. We need to build wealth by working together and buying from black business owners and supporting black entertainers that invest in the community. We need to root out c00ns and hang up the capes for other races in the us because they will not and have not thrown on their capes for us

Exactly. Fantastic post

"Cast Down Your Bucket Where You Are" Black Americans on Immigration

Some historical context for you.

Unrrated post. I love when people post historical sources.

You should highlight some of the stuff in the link so people can see and read.

Fredrick Douglass wasn’t playing

"The old avocations, by which colored men obtained a livelihood, are rapidly, unceasingly and inevitably passing into other hands; every hour sees the black man elbowed out of employment by some newly arrived emigrant, whose hunger and whose color are thought to give him a better title to the place; and so we believe it will continue to be until the last prop is levelled beneath us . . . It is evident, painfully evident to every reflecting mind that the means of living, for colored men, are becoming more and more precarious and limited. Employments and callings, formerly monopolized by us, are so no longer.

White men are becoming house-servants, cooks and stewards on vessels — at hotels. They are becoming porters, stevedores, wood sawyers, hod carriers, brick makers, white washers and barbers, so that the blacks can scarcely find the means of subsistence — a few years ago, and a white barber would have been a curiosity — now their poles stand on every street. Formerly blacks were almost the exclusive coachmen in wealthy families . . .Without the means of living, life is a curse, and leaves us at the mercy of the oppressor to become his debased slaves."5

Wow. That is perspective for you.

Don’t fall for this Republican trick again.

There will be message board threads and internet articles like this popping up until the November elections.

The racist ass republicans have so many of my people utterly brainwashed into thinking the enemy is someone other than them.

This dude be has to be a DNC agent, right?

In 1928, the Courier wrote again about the danger to blacks from this employer-driven search for cheap labor:

. . . . The Negro's losing competition with low standard foreign labor has been in the North and East, but now comes competition of a similar sort in his old stronghold: the South. In the past ten years well over a million and a half Mexicans have entered the Southwestern states seeking work. They were encouraged originally by the employers seeking cheap labor and high profits . . . There is only one valid ground on which agitation against further immigration of Mexican labor should be opposed by us: economic competition.33

The Courier nicely summed up the benefits for black Americans of ending mass immigration:

This was in 1928.

What if I told you, black people in America will always be near the bottom of the 'racial totem pole'?
