Are hood FBAs actually happy with ICE?

[Voice of Reason]

Or is this MAGA propaganda

 

[Mandarin Duck]

Idk about "hood FBAs" but most black people tend to have empathy for others in spite of those same people not having empathy for us.

If you were to poll black people and white people in America about their feelings towards ICE, I'd imagine more black people would disagree with the treatment of illegal immigrants by the hands of ICE than whites.

I’m not rooting for ICE. I’m also not about to jump on the front line for people that have been disrespectful to us for so long. Latinos, Indians, Africans, whatever. I don’t care. FBA has always been welcoming to these folks that they dumped in our neighborhoods and in turn they have animosity towards us. I’m not wishing bad but HYON

 

[Barlow]

Most black folks are indifferent. There’s another group that are having them placed in their neighborhoods and adding to crime so they’d like to see them gone. A small few are out rallying against deportations

Like other breh said, the overwhelming majority of “FBA” are either indifferent or against it.

Only a small percentage of “fba” are actively supporting ICE.

For the record, I’m in that small percentage that is supporting them. That’s how I know this

 

[AllHolosEve]

-No, we all aren't. A lot want illegal criminals gone but don't have an issue with people just trying to come work. I don't support ICE or the way your president is doing this shyt.

Poll them about the affect of illegal immigration in education and employment.

Most black people aren't fukking with Trump, whether they're in the hood or not

That's objectively true no matter what Internet c00nservatives say.

 

[Uachet]

My focus is on the betterment of my own people. So I mirror the same mentality those other groups have towards us, when times are good for them. Them being deported is not on my list of concerns.

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

I want them all gone. Africans, Latinos, Haitians, Jamaicans, Caribbeans, ALL OF EM. And if the Black Americans that’s having empathy for what’s happening with them see that the resources our ancestors fought and died for going to them instead of us, they would want them gone too.

These fresh off the boat clowns come over here and get set up in houses, get loans (hell we can’t even get no fukking loans to start our own businesses) and every-fukking-thing handed to them because of our ancestors did the work and they try to talk down about us. fukk all of em.

 

[No_bammer_weed]

American conservative culture (the most dominant) is all about punching down and using whatever societal leverage is at their disposal to dehumanize those “beneath them”.

All manipulated from the power brokers at the top

Those who have been abused by those powers for centuries (and still are being abused), can’t wait to help abuse others.

If immigrants are why FBAs lack housing, wealth, and jobs, why were these problems already entrenched before most of them arrived?

You're misidentifying the problem. Every condition you're mad about -- disinvestment, lack of loans, housing scarcity, job loss -- was created by redlining, capital flight, deindustrialization, mass incarceration, housing covenants, predatory finance, and so on. Those systems were designed and enforced by the capital class and the state long before large-scale immigration.

Immigrants didn't hollow out Black neighborhoods. Banks did. Corporations did. The government did.

Immigrants aren't being handed federal resources, either. Most are legally barred from them, especially undocumented immigrants (net contributors) and recent green card holders. The reason FBAs were denied loans and housing wasn't immigrant favoritism. It was state-sanctioned discrimination by banks, developers, and policymakers.

Before blaming immigrants, how many banks and financial institutions have been sued or fined for discriminating against Black Americans in lending and housing, and how many lawsuits exist showing immigrants being favored over FBAs?

Blaming immigrants for structural theft is the same logic the right uses to manipulate the middle class into hating the poor instead of confronting corporate power.

I also noticed you left out European immigrant groups.
