Brudda, the more you quote me, the more I'ma pull back them layers and show you your history/black immigrants history over here. You want to latch on to FBA struggle so bad, but let me start educating you a bit:
1. White folks were not targeting black immigrants. All them white folks had to do was send your family back to their homelands. When your family got over here in the 60s or 70s, they met with them white folks downtown, met with that white man, or judge/counselor and were given that speech. That dad in most cases was told how to act over here in the US, he made sure that he would follow those rules along with his family thus telling his kids to get good grades, stay away from FBAS and keep your head down, "in which most black immigrants acted this way" . Because guess what was happening in the 60s and 70s in the US? FBAs were causing havoc on these white folks with the riots and protest and every other shit dealing with law enforcement around the US...They did not want black immigrants to add to the fuel and they made sure of that...which is why they were "hand picking" black immigrants to come over here...Let's start there, many black immigrants were given this speech, black immigrants in the 70s, 80s, and 90s did not cross white folks nor buck against white folks. White folks did not respect black immigrants for the most part in those days, most because of the docile attitude that black immigrants showed white folks in which is why FBAS would step in when white folks took advantage of black immigrants adults. You can't treat our brother this way. We took on the "big brother" role in those days for black immigrants.
2. Black immigrants worked for "pennies" because as I stated white folks tried to take advantage and in many cases, black immigrants just accepted the wage and kept their heads down when they worked for the white man or woman. The man usually worked and the mother took care of the kids and home. When the man got tired and fed up, that man would start driving cabs, that's why you saw a lot of black immigrant men in those times driving cabs along the East Coast areas. That's where more of your black immigrant population resided, along the tri-state area. Those that "saved" their money were able to leave and travel down south, to the west coast or to mid west. In the 90s, there were not many black immigrants in California, Oakland etc like there is in 2025, There weren't many black immigrants around the US in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, they stayed in one area, on the East Coast. A black immigrant couldn't just "up and leave" without giving notice to their overseer or just having money. I'm speaking 70s, 80s and 90s reality. Not 2025
3. That comment you made about Chocolate City, you made the comment to make it seem as if "black immigrants populated DC" but let me shed some light on that. In 1957, DC became the 1st major black city for FBAs (black immigrants were not even over here in the late 50s) The term Chocolate City came from early DJs in the DC area who played funk, and the FBA pop records in the 1970. What were the few black immigrants listening to in the 1970s? It wasn't no dayum Parliament. Remember black immigrants were "hand picked" to come over here in the 70s and had to walk a tight rope, they weren't around FBA spaces, so they didn't know the lingo, slang, dressing style etc. In 1975, Parliament named their album Chocolate City which put even more shine of the majority FBA black city. By the 1970s, DC had close to 70% of FBAs in the city.
So if black immigrants weren't over here in the late 50s, how in the hell did DC get to be so majority black, 1st major city? but yet you made the comment about it being called Chocolate City to insinuate that it's called that because of black immigrants or "with the help of black immigrants". when your kin wasn't even around lol.
I can keep going.
