When did African-Americans become so xenophobic?

How can you say capitalizing White or Black is racist when you refuse to recognize Coloureds as the ethnic group they themselves identify as.

Capitalizing black and white, adjectives, is stupid and indicates some sort of obsession. That's my take. Nothing personal.

I'm pretty sure you're just using an archaic term for black people but I don't know everything. How about a link to this ethnic group.

They are not adjectives, I am using them as a people group to refer to people of African or European descent as a group. You claim to study and know so much about racism and discrimination yet you fail to look up the history of South Africa, a country that once had an entire regime entirely based on race. You don't actually even know what discrimination or racism even is.

The Coloured people are a multi-racial group that primarily inhabit what is today South Africa and Namibia. They are mixed-race people or people that did not really belong to the other groups of White, Black or Asian. For much of Apartheid they had no rights but towards the end of Apartheid they were given some extremely limited rights along with Asians. They have their own distinct culture and mainly speak Afrikaans. They also differentiate themselves from the Black population of South Africa by largely voting against the ANC and supporting the "white" parties, like the New Nationalist Party and the Democratic Alliance. Their support has been key in allowing the Western Cape to not be be governed by the ANC.

This is pretty disappointing to here. I think just the toxic, bigoted political climate combined with all the ubiquitous right-wing propaganda about immigration has undergone osmosis into the psyche's of African-Americans. They're afraid latinos will be seen as less non-white than them and thus less impure and that will cause them to be replaced.

I guess the only way the African-American community is going to get the attention it deserves is if it hops over the border.

Lol, this is probably one of the most ridiculous things I have seen posted on this board.

Yes, and they’re wrong. Immigration enforcement is color blind. If you have papers and permission to enter, you can enter. If you have no permission to enter then you are not allowed to enter. Color & race have nothing to do with it. This is why you need to stop reading Fake News.

Benefit from “it”? You might mean benefit from immigration enforcement? Everyone benefits from immigration enforcement, regardless of race or color.

Disappointing to “here”? Don't you mean it’s disappointing to “there”.

I think you mean “the psyche of African Americans”. There is no apostrophe or ‘s’ on the world. If you’re going to talk about such things you should really know how to spell them.

Translation: Blacks think that people will prefer illegal Latinos to blacks.

Who cares? The issue is stopping ALL illegal immigrants – not having a contest about illegal skin color.

This isn't about you - just an observation about people in general. A non-racist is a person who would have no problem with a person's color. They would innocently look at a man with very black skin and say, "He's black." When others come along and say, "Hey, calling him black is offensive!" he would say, "Why?" because he genuinely has no problem with the black color of the individual. What is clear is that the one who finds the adjective 'black' offensive, is likely to be the racist, since he thinks there's something "wrong" with being black.

When is the last time CNN covered a police shooting of an unarmed person who wasn't black? The last time CNN covered a hate crime perpetrated by someone who wasn't white? There is absolutely no lack of attention being paid to black people by the media. Your comment was absurd.

You were somehow implying that the AA community doesn't "get the attention it deserves".

Failing to get the attention it deserves doesn't imply 0 attention or lack of attention; it simply implies that it would probably receive more if it did things differently. Or at least, more than the community is getting now.

Bingo!

Democrats are not getting the desired election outcomes with their usual crop of indentured voters so are focused on grooming a new crop of indentured voters out of the illegal immigrants. Per the article it seems to be backfiring as some in the African American community are awakening to the ruse the Democrats have played on them for decades. If I recall correctly LBJ had a statement on that political strategy/ploy to use them and it was awful.

Hopefully the AA community in greater numbers figures out how badly they’ve been used by Liberals sooner than later. That article is a good step.

Fine, run away from your own post. It's up to you. Besides, not being able or willing to defend your own beliefs is a well established tradition for liberals.

I'm defending my post. If you didn't understand my post, you should have conducted a more thorough line of inquiry instead of attributing statements that I haven't said.

Probably because as the set of citizens who have historically held the lowest rungs of employment, the lowest levels of wages, and since LBJ's "Great Society" program, also the largest proportion of social welfare benefit support...maybe those who have not "succeeded" as expected would not like having to deal with competing for even fewer jobs at reduced wages as well as for social welfare funding?

Law of supply and demand; the more people seeking the same job, the less an employer has to pay for someone willing (keeping in mind with minimum wages). Just a thought. :coffeepap:

Simple solution: prosecute employers who hire illegals. They're breaking the law, right?

If employers got prosecuted then they would stop hiring them and they would stop coming to America because there would be no jobs. Just a thought.

I seem to remember Trump pardoning someone who was in prison for hiring hundreds of illegals. Why isn't Trump going after the employers?

This reminds me of the black reaction to the drug war. Many blacks supported it, even though the record was clear that blacks suffer far more from the drug war than whites.

Humans, no matter their race, are easily led, easily misinformed.
