Why does the Coli pretend that African and West Indian immigrants don't exist

[DrBanneker]

Most black 2nd gen kids I know are very proud of their cultures while still growing up in the West. They usually try to balance AA and their original cultures when convenient.

Yeah you are right, what I primarily meant is 2nd and 3rd generation kids from Black immigrants don't try to hold themselves apart from Black by and large. They retain a lot of heritage (I know my wife is 2nd generation) but they aren't acting like they can't hang with, date, or be associated with the wider AA community.

From who I know, the biggest difference between the 2nd and 3rd generations vs. newcomers is they have a more realistic view of racism and the challenges AAs face. They don't fall into the trap of thinking "if AAs would just be good then..."

Co-sign. You see a lot of blending between different black groups in Houston but it's mainly 2nd/3rd generation immigrants who are open-minded and just trying to make it like we are.

If it wasn't because of our civil rights movement, from which the the justification for the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 came from, most non-white, forget black, immigrants wouldn't be here in the first place.
Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 - Wikipedia

Our job = DONE In that regard.

Unlike flows from other parts of the world, the uptick in Caribbean immigration was not prompted by the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act because migration from the Western Hemisphere had not been subject to the national origin quotas set in 1921 and 1924. Instead, the growth had to do with circumstances specific to each country. Migration from Jamaica and other former British colonies was driven by immigration restrictions set by the United Kingdom and the simultaneous recruitment by the United States of English-speaking workers of varying skill levels (from rural laborers in agriculture or construction to nurses).

Caribbean Immigrants in the United States

That's cute, but the data says otherwise.

The Caribbean islands have become increasingly important sources of foreign immigrants to the United States. Generally, Cuba is thought of as the region’s primary source, but other islands have also become significant sources, especially after the implementation o the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act Amendment that eliminated nationality origins quotas and established an open-door, competitive policy for immigrants Subsequently, Caribbean immigration to the United State has become a growing factor in contributing to the population growth, cultural diversity, and racial composition of specific American metropolitan areas Despite the islands’ proximity to the US, more immigrant have originated in the Caribbean islands since 1965 than in the region’s previous history. The 1960s alone witnessed three times as many Caribbean immigrants than in the previous three decades. And, the 1980s recorded nearly twice as many Caribbean immigrants, and worldwide immigrants, as in 1960’s (Table 1). Consequently, the Caribbean is today the source of about one-third of America’s immigrants from the Western Hemisphere and nearly 15 per cent of its worldwide immigrants.

The fact is the Caribbean immigrantion to the US, increase EXPONENTIALLY both in raw number and in proportion to other immigrants in 1960s after the immigration reform of 1965.

This.....site is like a klan rally with these dumb talking points.

this thread was not created by AA's, but they called us out, we responded, they didn't like what they heard.

we debated, we brought facts, data to support our beliefs.

no AA is promoting the deportation of African immigrants in this thread, you can comb this thread and you wont find it.

me personally do not hate afro immigrants nor do I have a disdain for them.

all we are in here saying is............
we understand the situation, but we have to fight our own battles, as you do yours.
we have enough on our plate dealing with our own community.

this is the point you all are missing

Caribbean Immigrants in the United States

Even your own source implicitly admits that the immigration reform of 1965 had a lot to do with Caribbean immigrants being able to immigrate to the US.

The 1960s marked the beginning of the acceleration of Caribbean immigration. Starting with fewer than 200,000 in 1960, the Caribbean immigrant population grew significantly over the next couple decades.

Did you not read my link which is far more recent and speaks on the reason or did you search the deep web or geocities for obscured statistics from hell to make your point more valid

Bro, Ive had family in American since the start of the 1900s. Leave it up to y'all, black immigrants only came here after 1965. I've seen people on here say that.

Numbers don't lie. If you disagree with basic math, then you've got far deeper problems than I can help you with.

Caribbean immigrants by decade:

1930- 14,000(%2.0)

1940- 36,000(%4.2)

1950- 115,000(%4.6)

1960- 472,000(%14.7)

1960 saw almost three times as much Caribbean immigration than the previous three decades put together. Gee, I wonder what caused the dramatic increase?

I guess your family was one of the few among the 14,000 people who hit the lotto and got to come in the 1930s. You wouldn't happen to be a white cuban would you? Because that's who made the bulk of those immigrants during that time.

From the SAME EXACT WEBSITE you quoted from, except this page deals specifically with black caribbean immgirants.

Immigration from the Caribbean to the United States is a relatively recent phenomenon, beginning largely after changes to U.S. immigration law in 1965 that placed a new priority on family-based migration.

A Demographic Profile of Black Caribbean Immigrants in the United States

Tell me, why are you trying to pass off a bunch of pre-civil rights white cuban immigrants, as black west indians just for the sake avoiding having to admit that our civil rights movement was the main catalyst to your folks being able to move here?
