FBA Chicagoans calling out Mayor Lightfoot for dropping off migrants in their neighborhood and get backlash

[OfTheCross]

1.I was showing somebody else it happened. It doesn't matter if ONE person did it. Facts are facts.
2.The "Hispanic/Asian" superaggregates were formed by multiple ethnic groups at the behest of Mexicans, Chinese, and Japanese. I don't hear any of the smaller groups fighting for disaggregation. These superaggregates were formed to counter black people and acquire civil rights resources.
3.Where are your people from?

You're right..it did happen. It's also non-consequential.

I dunno what superaggregates you're talking about...

I'm not FBA, not that it matters for the sake of this discussion

judging people off of social media comments is a mental flaw
and you know that

I used to think that, but not completely anymore.

Anonymity allows people to expression versions of themselves that would typically never see the light of day.

I am not for running cape for racist whites who despite agreeing with the core premise of the grevenance here but chose to attack the black people here despite the obvious conclusion that this would make black folk here worser off.

Considering that they are trying to move them into an empty school that tells you the neighborhood is already lacking resources. Neighborhoods with empty buildings generally have very little resources. So now the city wants to bring more marginalized people into a marginalized neighborhood and have them all share the little resources available. It's crazy to place the responsibility of the migrants on citizens who are already getting the short end of the stick. That's like your immediate family being broke, then your cousins gotta come live with you and take a portion of the little you have, all while your other richer family tells you "hey, don't be like that".

Heard they closed the school when the citizens wanted open. Now they suddenly have money for migrants. There are homeless black people now. Where were the resources for the school back then?

People wonder why some black places are underdeveloped with crime. They could’ve been turned empty buildings into homeless shelters

They were moved to cape cod to help facilitate their access to services.

Migrants who arrived in Martha's Vineyard moved to Cape Cod

“Our administration has been working across state government to develop a plan to ensure these individuals will have access to the services they need going forward," Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said Friday.

I wonder what are the specifics of the OP post, though. Were these migrants bussed over state lines by republicans, and if so, would TLR admit any culpability on their behalf? It’s kind of hard to glean any kind of information from the video.

They literally had everything that they needed on that island. Those people advocate for them to be in The United States, just not in their backyard. They took their pictures, pretended to care, and sent those people on their way the next day. Probably called their Congressman and Governor directly like “Yeah… so, when are you guys getting these people out of here?!?”


Those wealthy Progressive cacs scream so much about letting them all in, they should be the first to step up and help them.

YET, they’re the first ones to say that these Black People are insensitive, intolerant, selfish, and racist. Demanding that we should accept them into our shyt with absolutely no questions or resistance. If you fail to see the hypocrisy, disdain, and disrespect that these cacs have for Black People, you’re either blind or in denial.

Lightfoot is a democrat.

Yes

Are you Hispanic? Broke left leaning White artists looking for cheap rent in the city sure do. You see it in other parts of Chicago that have been gentrified. Once the broke White artists make it even more safe bringing in coffee shops and whatever else they like, the young White professionals come in and the process is complete.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you on that, but it’s kind of hard to really say anything when we have no specifics beyond a video of some folks politely requesting the local government make some changes to this initiative. But you are correct that the white elite will half as their way to any sort of progressive change.

MLK spoke on this half a century ago:

“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councilor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the White moderate who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.”

I’m glad that we’ve reach some sort of consensus. Respect.

She is a dyke that is a wannabe Peter Lorre/Marty Feldman bug eyed looking white dude that has no respect for Black people. What did they expect?

 

[Samori Toure]

What exactly is the problem with them being in a shelter in this neighborhood?

How many of these shelters are up North or down on the Gold Coast?

You tell me...


If they have 0, just like Woodlawn, what's the big deal that Woodlawn gets 1.

1.Hispanic/latino and asian are both Ethnic Superaggregates. You should stop being obtuse.
2.Ok, we're done here.
