The last few seconds of the video is the most important part. The problem is the American system of racial classification in general, not the people finding their place in it.

We ain't got no allies
Many have said this since Obama was in office.. But black people need to be apart of something so fcking bad that we will do shyt thats counter productive..
The idea of race and it's classifying of people is all sorts of fukked up and insulting in its grouping of people who share nothing in common (ex : the Latino identity)

There used to be a time when black leaders were aligned with black America on this issue. During the last century, Booker T. Washington, A. Phillip Randolph, and W.E.B. Du Bois were all opposed to open borders, arguing that it undermined black advancement and undercut black employees. Educated blacks may not feel the effects of illegal immigration, but the flood of illegal, low-skilled labor undercuts employment prospects especially for low-wage black employees (and low-wage employees are disproportionately black). Perhaps black leaders should pay attention to what these people- who are dealing with the consequences of illegal immigration on a daily basis- think about the issue.
Black leaders have already been silent as Hispanics have surpassed blacks as the largest minority group (heavily fueled by illegal immigration), but now they expect the wider African-American community to be alright with undocumented workers denying them opportunities in the labor market. Pro-amnesty advocates often claim these workers are doing jobs that Americans “don’t want to do” and aren’t undermining black employment prospects. However, such claims do not stand up to scrutiny. African-Americans are hit the hardest by the impact of illegal immigration. And we’re not just talking about jobs like lettuce picking, but construction, landscaping, and manufacturing jobs as well.

I have absolutely no problem with what they're doing... I actually applaud it. I need to know why black people are assisting them in doing it..
