Trouble on the plantation
 The TIMES is reporting that "Between 1970 and 2000, the share of black immigrants among the nation's black population grew from 1.3 percent to 7.8 percent. Two-thirds of all African immigrants currently in the United States arrived after 1980." This is causing big problems for the nation's black leaders. Huh? "Black politicians ... haven't been able to get [black immigrants] to buy into what white America is all about, about what white privilege is," said William Spriggs, executive director of the National Urban League Institute for Opportunity and Equality.They don't want to be called "Black." They don't buy into the idea that whitey is trying to keep them down. They don't subscribe to the notion that America is racist. They won't be victims. As a result, "African-born residents in the United States are better-educated and have among the highest per-capita incomes of any immigrant group." Imagine. That black leaders see this success as a problem speaks volumes. It may even br worse for overseers of the black plantation that Democrats have unwittingly, or in some cases purposely, created. Some of them might even vote Republican. Egad. |
