Are hood FBAs actually happy with ICE?

[Pull Up the Roots]

the bottom line with shills like you is that you don’t care about about low income ADOS people. And I actually have a degree in Economics so you can stop with the insults. These damn musty immigrants that exploit the black community are a negative and they have been a negative since the reconstruction era when they came in and set up stores and shops in the black community like the Asians did in the delta as depicted in the movie sinners. If Black communities owned these businesses ourselves positive things would happen you can not dispute that. So yes I support deportations and the repeal of birth right citizenship

No, the bottom line is that your concern for Black Americans isn't genuine. If it were, you wouldn't shy away from naming the institutions that actually stripped Black communities of wealth. Instead, you scapegoat immigrants, because resentment is easier than confronting banks, corporations, and the state that created these conditions in the first place.

I doubt you have a degree in economics, because if you do, then you're doing it a disservice. I don't have a degree in economics, but I know what you're saying is nonsense. You even quoted material admitting the real issue is missing economic ecosystems, then ignored it to go right back to scapegoating. That's how unserious you are.

The bold highlights exactly what I mean too. You're not actually talking about how Black Americans gain power, you're talking about who you want punished.

And the reason Black communities didn't own most businesses wasn't because of "immigrant interference," it was because the banks, the courts, and corporations, backed by state policy, denied us that access. During Reconstruction and Jim Crow, Black people were *legally* locked out of credit, property, wholesaling, unions, and insurance.

These were systems enforced and created by the capital class. You think these small shop owners set the terms of exploitation? Landlords set rents. Banks grant/deny credit access. Insurers set costs. Wholesalers set prices. Those structures were controlled by white capital, not immigrants operating at the margins of society.

And saying "Black ownership would create positive outcomes" is obvious, and beside the point. That doesn't explain how deportations will create capital access, nor how repealing birthright citizenship leads to the the building of banks, factories, or supply chains in Black neighborhoods. You have no explanation for this, because you have no expectation for it happening, and you don't care, because you're running purely on grievance.

You're not proposing *anything* that would advance our cause. Grievance politics don't build Black power, they just redirect anger in ways that protect the real perpetrators. Your "solutions" skips the hard work of confronting power and jumps straight to punishment. And that tells me this isn't about Black advancement, it's about resentment and nothing more.

Like I said before, wear your Red Hat proud.

I've stopped arguing with black maga/fba cult long time ago. They hate first then scramble to find the silliest justification

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.

Resources you say?
Hopefully you don't mean the ones the US practically steals from foreign nations to drive its industries and keep you fed.
Trump's literally hijacking Venezuelan oil tankers in your name and honor right now as we speak.

Perhaps you prefer more of those Scandinavians Trump yaps about non stop as being ideal immigrants for the US.

If the US doesn't want to see people in the US from dark skinned places, then really be about it and completely cut off all relations with said nations.
No trade, no alliances, no tourism, no travel, no study, no nothing.

And the way things are going, everyone will have their way sooner rather than later.

you dumb ass shill I literally said that immigrants did not create the situation that fbas are currently in


they obviously make it worse though

Literally claim one thing then make arguments that completely contradict that claim. Everything you're actually arguing assumes the opposite of what you claim. What you're proposing only makes sense if you believe immigrants caused FBA problems.

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

Illegals immigrants are being rounded up and unlawfully deported, meanwhile black unemployment is at its highest in years. Statistics dont back up yalls pseudo intellectual claims of illegal immigrants obstructing black employment.

You're an idiot. I've posted personal evidence of it here before. Anecdotal occurrences are even needed. It's fairly easy to understand if you aren't being intentionally obtuse.

The "velocity of money" in low-income Black communities is a topic where a very popular cultural narrative often clashes with hard economic data.1


While you may have heard the specific statistic that a dollar only stays in the Black community for six hours, most modern economists classify that specific number as an "urban myth."2 However, the economic reality behind it—that wealth leaves these neighborhoods much faster than others—is a very real phenomenon known as economic leakage.3
+1

Here is the breakdown of the myth versus the economic reality:

1. The "6-Hour" Myth​

For decades, a specific set of statistics has circulated in news articles and speeches:

• The Claim: A dollar stays in the White community for 17–30 days, the Jewish community for 19 days, the Asian community for 28 days, and the Black community for only 6 hours.4
  
  
  
• The Fact: Economists from Howard University and the Selig Center (often cited as the source) have confirmed there is no data to support these specific numbers.5 The federal government does not track money circulation by race or religion, and the numbers appear to have originated in a 1996 book without a verified study behind them.6
  +1

2. The Reality: Economic Leakage​

Even though the "6 hours" stat is likely made up, the concept it describes is accurate. In low-income Black neighborhoods, money "leaks" out almost immediately for three structural reasons:

• Service & Retail Deserts: If a neighborhood doesn't have a local grocery store, pharmacy, or bank, residents are forced to spend their money at national chains (like Walmart or Dollar General) located outside the community.
• Lack of Business Ownership: In many low-income Black neighborhoods, a high percentage of the businesses are owned by people who do not live in the community. When you spend money there, the profit goes home with the owner to a different zip code.
• The "Black Tax" on Businesses: Small businesses in these areas often have higher insurance, security, and supply costs because they lack the "bulk-buying" power of a chain. Since you are someone who looks for price matches(like your Micro Center strategy), you know that if a local store has to charge 20% more to cover their overhead, savvy consumers will naturally go elsewhere to save money.

3. Velocity vs. Buying Power​

There is a massive gap between Buying Power and Wealth Retention:

• Buying Power: Black consumer spending in the U.S. is projected to reach nearly $2 trillion by 2025.
• The Multiplier Effect: The goal of "Buy Black" initiatives isn't just about the first transaction; it's about the multiplier effect. When a local business owner earns a dollar, they ideally use it to pay a local employee, who then spends it at a local cafe. In many low-income neighborhoods, this "chain" is broken after the very first step because the local cafe or the local wholesaler doesn't exist.

---

Comparison of Circulation​

Factor	High-Retention Neighborhoods	Low-Income Black Neighborhoods
Banking	High density of local banks/credit unions.	"Banking Deserts" (higher reliance on check-cashing spots).
Retail	Diverse mix of local shops and chains.	Prevalance of "extractive" retail (dollar stores).
Professional Services	Local accountants, lawyers, and tech help.	Services often outsourced to firms outside the area.
Wealth retention	High (Money turns over 3-5x).	Low (Money often leaves on the 1st or 2nd turn).

The Bottom Line​

The "6-hour" stat is a myth used to highlight a painful truth: Low-income Black communities often lack the infrastructure to keep money local. Strengthening the local economy isn't just about "spending habits"—it’s about building the "ecosystem" (banks, grocery stores, and service providers) so that the money has a place to stay.7


Would you like me to look into which cities currently have the highest rates of "Retail Leakage" in their underserved neighborhoods?

Did you just have AI answer for you?

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

Africans have never been disrespectful to me. East Africans, West Africans, South Africans. Always nothing but love

I don’t think they really care.

This question assumes that if something is "illegal," the government can do whatever it wants, but that's not how the law works. Even people who violated immigration laws are still protected by due process. And for the record, unlawful entry is usually a misdemeanor, not a felony, yet it's being treated as grounds for extreme, collective punishment.
