How have Black immigrants benefitted the native born ADOS/FBA community?

[RaspberryFitted]

My point was that all Black Americans were involved in that movement, whether they wanted to be or not. They had no choice. They were all under the same yoke and they were in it by virtue of being Black. How could they not be part of it after seeing 4 little Black girls getting blown up in a church or watching a preacher get murdered for just preaching the gospel. That movement took on many forms stuff like Rosa Parks bus ride, and sit-ins at Woolworth counters and Billy Holiday singing a forbidden song on television, on and on and on. Even people like Sammy Davis, Jr., and James Brown were participants in the movement and those dudes voted for Nixon.

My point was that it was a long hard road and they all walked on it whether they waned to or not. There have been other commentators on the subject of European immigrants getting a leg up over African Americans but it’s late and my mind can't connect the dots at this late hour.

Did not forget about this post. My fault for the delay.

To expand on the bolded, a black child was empowered to join the movement by seeing his father shed a cry over the injustice he’s seen or by wondering why their educated mother is stuck working menial jobs.

I take ownership on how my original posts may of been perceived as minimizing the movement down to the high profile activists. That is not what I wanted to communicate.

My overall stance (which I won’t waver) is how there has always existed a sector of Black Americans who’ve been against the or neutral to the advancement of the Black American condition.

They get no love from me at all man.

A lot of the civil rights/ black activist leaders were from the Caribbean. Honestly where is this divisiveness coming from? If I didn't know better id have to guess there's an agenda at play. We have a shared enemy and it aint the ones that look like us.

They act like a black man from Trinidad wasn’t the leader of the Panthers at one point

did u read my post above - men who come to America to work , only purchase things that they need to survive and will send all their money back home
I don’t know how many fukking times I gotta say it over and over and over … that is not how a consumer economy works

How does a consumer economy work? because you're not making any sense.

How can you send "all" your money back home if you're putting gas in your car to drive for ubereats or doordash? if you're buying lunch to eat? paying phone bills, paying rent. more than half your money is just spent on living.

Seriously … are you really asking -
What is a consumer economy or are you just trolling me
because at this point is getting a bit ridiculous

We know what it is . By your statements in this thread I doubt you fully understand so I just want to see what narrative Tariq has y'all running with now

well, you clearly don’t understand the definition of it and I have no idea why you brought up Tariq

consumer economy​

noun

/kənˌsjuːmər ɪˈkɒnəmi/

/kənˌsuːmər ɪˈkɑːnəmi/

1. an economic system that depends on people buying a lot of goods and services rather than on production

well, you clearly don’t understand the definition of it and I have no idea why you brought up Tariq

it's usually Tariq stans that argue the most obvious points. but good. at least you're using the real definition. so then since we agree on what a consumer-driven economy is, we can say the main issue is just your math. it's way off.

"buying a lot of goods and services"

goods and services
-rent / mortgage
-food / groceries (have you ever been to the Target or Wal-Mart in a neighborhood with a lot of immigrants? they be in there DEEP)
-phones/internet
-car notes/gas/insurance

How do you send "all your money" back home without paying for any of the shyt above? For the average immigrant let alone the average American that shyt takes way more than half of your monthly income. even if you shackin up and splitting rent with someone.

2. What migrants send back home represents only 15 per cent of what they earn​

On average, migrant workers send between US$200 and $300 home every one or two months. Contrary maybe to popular belief, this represents only 15 per cent of what they earn: the rest –85 per cent – stays in the countries where they actually earn the money, and is re-ingested into the local economy, or saved.

first off, salute to you and much props for dropping a link which I read and I’m not questioning it, but I would love to see them be more in depth on how did they get their actual numbers and percentages

The fact is the overwhelming majority of men who leave their wives and kids from their own homeland to come to America to work, have some type of sponsor/connection with an individual who usually is from their homeland and set them up with a room for himself,, and share a bathroom kitchen with others … so the only things he needs is money for food (which most likely he cooks himself) and money for transportation to get to the actual job (which in many cases would be a pool of individuals like him heading to said job ) and a cell phone to contact his employer when needed … i to him having to wash his clothes or uniform once a week these are the necessities for him to survive

Obviously, the money he’s making from his job goes to the overwhelming necessities that I just listed
But the problem is the definition for a consumer economy stats “ people buying a lot of goods and service”
The keyword is a lot and what I listed is the minimum which is why For people like them does not help this country

if they would go to a country that had a system of producing or manufacturing, then its scenario would be much different
