There was none of this worry, when only Black Americans were receiving the brunt of their attention. Once they moved on to start messing with immigrants, is when all of this push to fearmonger us into running out and protesting started. Black Americans have been catching hell in this country for centuries and we know that will not stop.
Oh, and the original post is a red herring. No one is saying Black Americans will not be affected. We are always the target. We were the target before you all came here, and we will continue to be the target into future. The amount of worry some of my people have towards the deportations is the same as the amount of worry some of you had towards illegals harming 6/10 Black American men's economic outcomes.
You have my sympathy and I wish you well, but you should not expect anymore consideration from my people than what you were willing to give to my people on the illegal immigration issue.
Black Americans. We are stating what many Black Americans are feeling about this issue. No one has a right to our activism, especially not the racist hispanics that come here.
i agree with the frustration and sentiment that some immigrants try to adopt the black american movement to support their own grievances. some of the problems i have...
...some black folks dont even respect the cra and related work done by our peoples back in the 50s and 60s. they call it buttered biscuits and then turn their neck and say those achievements are for us only. either respect it, how we achieved that (political activism), or don't respect.
...some black folks say the issues immigrants are experiencing now won't or can't happen to black folks. bs is on the phone for them. this admin will absolutely scale back protections and safety nets afforded to black folks. they're testing the waters with exec powers and court rulings. they're writing legal papers and winning legal awards on why the constitution is only for yt folks.
this isn't fear mongering. this is looking out further than the tip of your nose. if the maga movement gets another 1 or two terms they absolutely will remove born citizens of our ancestors for minutiae.
it is really amazing how people can't see this. they're pushing legislation now to remove citizenship. they're pushing legislation now to redefine what enemy of the US means. they're pushing legislation now to ship out incarcerated citizens to other countries. in the meantime the current admin is using exec orders to do what they want and locking up judges who get in their way, or threatening to lock up judges who aren't on board.
i'm not interested in fighting for immigration laws. i am interested in voting for laws that protect our constitutional rights and voting for political reps who will protect safety nets applicable to black folks. if others benefit, that's fine with me too. they need to get on board and follow our lead.
we already know what immigrants are learning now, you will never be considered one of them and have legal compassion and second chances applied to you the same way they do.
why do cats want it to get worse or think it can't? folks really think they can unring the bell? how do some black folks not know better by now?
voting matters. voting for our interests matter, even when the candidate isn't perfect. we're seeing that right now from the exec, legislative, judicial branches.
